How to Screen Record on Mac – Full Guide
Looking for an easy way to take screenshots, screen captures, or even screen recordings on Mac OS X? There are a number of handy keyboard shortcuts and built-in OS X tools that make taking screenshots on a Mac easier than ever.
Screenshots are essentially a picture of the entire screen, or the entire desktop. Screenshots work by taking a picture of everything, exactly as it is arranged, with active windows open and everything. For example, if you have Safari and iTunes open, but iTunes is running and Safari is minimized, a screenshot will take a screenshot of your Mac OS X desktop, exactly as you see it.
In contrast, if you press COMMAND+CONTROL+SHIFT, 3 at the same time, Mac OS X will take a screenshot and copy it to the clipboard, instead of saving it to the desktop.
