Extra Tip: Save Time With Keyboard Shortcuts
You can customize keyboard commands to make screen captures even quicker.
- In the tray, click the Screencast-O-Matic icon.
- Underneath the camera icon is a dropdown menu. Click the gear icon to access the screenshot settings.
- Under the “Shortcut” tab, enter the keyboard combinations you’d like to use. Create separate shortcuts to open the recordings window, launch the screen recorder, open screenshot selection, and snap a full screengrab.
- To enter the shortcut, hold the keys down at the same time.
Check out the ”General” tab if you’d like Screencast-O-Matic to run automatically when your computer starts.
Keep shortcuts (hotkeys) simple so you don’t have to keep guessing what button to click next.
You are now set to create, edit, and share your screenshots.
