A screenshot is an image that captures the content currently displayed on your screen. You may be asked to provide a screenshot when contacting support, as it helps us identify an error or configuration issue.

Capture Part of the Screen

This is the recommended method when you need to show a specific error message or application window.

  1. Press Win + Shift + S.
  2. The screen will dim and a toolbar will appear at the top of the screen.
  3. Select the capture mode you need, such as a rectangular area, a specific window, or the entire screen.
  4. Click and drag to select the required area, if applicable.
  5. The screenshot will be copied to the clipboard.
  6. Paste it into an email, support ticket, chat, or document by pressing Ctrl + V.

Capture the Entire Screen and Save It Automatically

  1. Press Win + PrtScn.
  2. The screenshot will be saved automatically.
  3. Open File Explorer → Pictures → Screenshots to find the image.

Copy the Entire Screen to the Clipboard

  1. Press the PrtScn or Print Screen key. It is usually located in the upper-right area of the keyboard.
  2. Open Paint, Microsoft Word, an email message, or another application that supports images.
  3. Press Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot.
  4. Save the file or send it to support.

Important: Before sharing a screenshot, make sure it does not contain passwords, API keys, payment details, or other confidential information.
