Screenshot & screen record on raspberry pi can be pretty easy. Raspberry pi OS has no built in screen shot or screen recorder. However, there are two apps that you can download from pi-apps that can help you out. The First is called screen shot. if you look in the tool section it is about half way down the list.

Once you have installed it(It should be pretty fast), open the applications menu and go to accessories. That is where it will show up. Here’s what it will look like when it opens up(for you information, you can not take a screenshot of the screenshot app, I had to use a external camera, so pardon the graphics).

As you can see, there are many different options that you can choose. To take a shot, click the button on the top left. To select which mode you want to take a screenshot in, the three categories are in the middle. First there is entire screen, which does as it says. Next is window. It will take a picture of whatever window is on top to keep that in mind. Last is selection. You can choose what you want to take a screen shot of by dragging the mouse after you click take screenshot. You can also click delay, to delay is, and you can choose to show or hide your mouse curser. the next way to take a screen shot without an app is to press the PrtScn and the Fn button at the same time.

Next we have Screen recorder. This can be found inside of the multi media section of pi-apps.

Once you install it(should be fairly fast) you can find it in the sound and video section of your application’s menu. Once open, it will look like this.

You can press skip this page next time if you don’t want to see it again, but you will have to press continue. After that it will come up to this.

As you can see, there are a lot of different options, so this is a little more complicated than screenshot. First you have input profile. I have no idea what this does. I think that is where you would select a camera. Next video input. This is where you select what you want to record(and which screen if you have double). Next is where you select the audio source. Once you have everything how you want, press continue. next this will show up.

This window is basically asking you where you want to save the video, and the audio rate settings. Once ready press continue again.

Next this will show up. This is where you can start, cancel, and save your recording. If you click start, you will see the little icon on the right top corner by your wifi and bluetooth turn red. This means that you are recording. If you click it, it will hide the recording window. If you click it again, it will show the window. To pause, press the button where you pressed start. It will now say, pause recording.
