Communication has been able to go a long way thanks to today’s technology, which can be seen in the way we communicate with others on our computers or mobile phones.
On our computers we have lots of instant messaging messages, which also allow us to make video calls without taking too many resources from our hardware, such as Discord, Skype and even Teamspeak.
This also happens with our mobiles, since most of the programs that are on the computer to be able to communicate often have their version in mobile applications, although we can also find unique programs for each platform.
Through the programs we have at hand, we can easily reach out to people who are very far from us physically. We can talk and see our relative from another country, we can send a quick message via WhatsApp about our location to our parents and even send photos and videos of what is happening around us.
Likewise, all the form of communication that we have today and that we use regularly, is totally based on how much we can show other people our world, without counting our voice and face.
Social networks have done a lot in this last aspect, looking for new and creative ways in which you can express your external world and what you think to other people.
In fact, we have reached the point where you can share what you are seeing on the screen without too much effort, from making a live recording of your screen and then uploading it or simply taking screenshots.
However, there are lots of different types of screenshots about screenshots, and therefore today we will teach you how to do the type that not everyone knows how to do, the long capture, so stay with us and learn today how to do it on your mobile or your PC.
How to take a screenshot on your mobile?
The best way to be able to show others what you are seeing is through a screen recording or a screenshot. However, screen recording is something that is not yet available on all devices, which leaves us with screenshots as the best way to do the aforementioned.
Now, as we said at the beginning, there are several ways to take a screenshot both on PC and on your mobile device, but for now let’s talk about your mobile device and the long screenshot.
For you do not know, a long screen capture is one through which we can show beyond what a screen shows. We can show large portions of our Twitter, or even entire WhatsApp conversations in a single capture, so they are a good idea to use them in certain situations.
Unfortunately, there is no “natural” way to take long screen captures on our devices, we just have to get hold of an application: LongScreenshot.
Once we have downloaded Longscreenshot from the app store, it is a fairly simple app to use. We just open the app and select the ” play ” button and move our screen to where we want to take it and then select the same previous button to stop the capture, and then see our capture in our gallery.
How to take a screenshot on your PC?
To be able to take a screenshot on your PC, you must carry out more or less the same method as the previous one, since although there are lots of different ways to take a screenshot, you don’t have the default tools on the PC to do it.
Actually, you will need an extension in your browser, one of the best options being Awesome Screenshot. To use it, we just have to click on it in our browser and then select the option ” Capture entire page ” and we will have in front of us a capture of a whole screen.
Quite interesting and easy to do, so start putting your new tools into practice for your long screen captures.
