MacBook Tool: How to Screenshot using Built-in Feature
1. Press Command ⌘ +Shift + 5 on your Mac‘s keyboard to open the screenshot tools.
2. After the screenshot tools appeared, choose the tool based on your need.
(The view of the screenshot tools panel in Mac is shown below.)
3. Recently, there have been three kinds of actions that you can take with the screenshot tool.
First, you can capture the entire screen. So, when you use this tool, any display which is shown on your screen will be captured entirely. Then the second action, you can capture a window. When you open some windows of the browser or open some apps, this screenshot tool is very beneficial. This tool will detect each window or each opened app automatically. So, when you want to capture one of the opened apps views on your Mac‘s screen, you just need to point it and the tool will detect the area of the app that is going to be captured. Now the last one, this tool can be used to capture a portion of the screen. So, you can select certain information on your Mac‘s screen.
