How to screen record on Chromebook

The most obvious way to access the screen recording functionality on Chromebook is via the Quick Settings menu.

The quickest way to access the Screen Capture tool menu to record on your Chromebook is actually by using a keyboard shortcut.

Once you get comfortable using this shortcut, it should become second nature.

Simply enter the following keys on your keyboard, and the Screen Capture tool menu should appear at the bottom of your screen: Shift + Ctrl + Show windows.

(In case you don’t know, the Show windows key looks like a box with two vertical lines to the right of it – as pictured).

• After you have taken a screen recording on Chromebook it will be saved to the Clipboard in the first instance. The clipboard on Chromebook saves up to the five previous items you have copied.
• To bring up the clipboard, press the Search key (i.e. the Everything button) + V on your keyboard.
• Tote is another place in your Chromebook where you can access your latest screen recordings and other files. Tote is located on the Shelf in the bottom right of your desktop. Capture files can be pinned to Tote if you want to keep them easily accessible.
• The primary location to find all of your saved screen recordings on Chromebook devices, is within Files. Inside the Files app you should find a subfolder called Videos in which all your screen recordings will be saved.
