How to take screenshots from videos in Chrome

To take screenshots from videos in Google Chrome, you can use a variety of methods depending on your specific needs. Here are a few options for capturing screenshots from videos in Chrome:

1. Using Screenshot Tools in Chrome DevTools:

• Open the video in Google Chrome.

• Right-click on the video and select “Inspect” or press Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows/Linux) or Command+Option+I (Mac) to open Chrome DevTools.

• In Chrome DevTools, click on the “Toggle Device Toolbar” button (represented by a small screen icon in the top-left corner of the DevTools panel) or press Ctrl+Shift+M (Windows/Linux) or Command+Shift+M (Mac) to enable the device toolbar.

• Set the device toolbar to a responsive view and resize the window to fit the video.

• Once the video is in view, right-click on it, and from the context menu, select “Capture screenshot” or use the Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Command+Shift+P (Mac) shortcut to open the Command Menu and search for “Capture screenshot” to capture the screenshot.

2. Using Chrome Extensions:

• Install a Chrome extension like “Nimbus Screenshot & Screen Video Recorder” or “Lightshot” from the Chrome Web Store.

• Open the video in Google Chrome.

• Use the extension’s interface or its designated screenshot shortcut (such as clicking on the extension’s icon or using a keyboard shortcut) to capture a screenshot of the video.

3. Using Built-in System Tools:

• Play the video in Chrome.

• Use the built-in system screenshot tools on your operating system to capture a screenshot. For example, on Windows, you can press the PrtScn (Print Screen) key on your keyboard or use the Snipping Tool. On Mac, you can use the Command+Shift+3 or Command+Shift+4 keyboard shortcuts or the Shift+Command+5 shortcut on newer macOS versions.
