I created this video to show how to take expert-level screenshots on a Mac, including hidden shortcuts that most users miss.
Mac has built-in tools for screenshots, but once you know the full range of shortcuts, you can work way faster — especially for content creation or client documentation.
In this video, I cover:
- Cmd + Shift + 3 — full screen
- Cmd + Shift + 4 — selection
- Cmd + Shift + 4 + Spacebar — specific window
- Using Preview and Markup tools to annotate
- Where to find and change the screenshot save location
I also show how to disable the floating thumbnail delay for speed and how to capture the Touch Bar if you have one.
Do you use screenshots often for tutorials, support, or social media?
