Capturing a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy Note 20 can be incredibly useful, whether you want to save a funny meme, share a chat message, or keep a picture of a recipe. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you take screenshots like a pro!

Method 1: Using the Buttons

  1. Navigate to the Screen: Open the screen you want to capture.
  2. Press the Buttons: Simultaneously press the Volume Down button and the Power button. Make sure to press them at the same time.
  3. View Your Screenshot: You will see a quick animation on the screen, and a notification will appear indicating that your screenshot was taken. You can tap the notification to view your screenshot right away.

Method 2: Using Palm Swipe

The Note 20 has a nice feature that allows you to take screenshots by swiping your hand across the screen.

  1. Enable Palm Swipe: Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures, and turn on Palm Swipe to Capture.
  2. Take the Screenshot: Place the side of your hand on one edge of the screen and swipe it across to the opposite edge. You should see the same animation as the button method.

Method 3: Using the S Pen

If you have your S Pen handy, you can use it for this task too.

  1. Remove the S Pen: Take out your S Pen to access its features.
  2. Tap Air Command: Select the Screen Write option from the Air Command menu.
  3. Edit and Save: This will take a screenshot of what you see. You can write on the screenshot or just save it directly.

Great tip! I’m still getting used to the layout of the buttons. Does anyone else use gestures?

4

Yes! You can swipe the edge of your hand across the screen to capture a screenshot. Just make sure the gesture feature is enabled in settings under Motions and gestures.

I love the gesture feature! It’s so much faster than button combos.

However, sometimes the gesture doesn’t work that well if you’re not careful with the swipe. It can be a bit hit or miss!

So true! I’ve accidentally opened apps when trying to take a screenshot. Anyone else have this issue?

I’ve had that problem too! It’s like the phone knows I’m trying to screenshot. But I’ve found that using the button combo is more reliable.

If you are having trouble with both methods, you can always use the S Pen! Simply pull out the S Pen and use the Screen Write option. It’s so straightforward.

That’s a fantastic alternative! I often forget the S Pen’s features.

Using the S Pen is definitely underrated. Honestly, it’s like a superhero tool for Note users! Anyone tried using it for making notes while taking screenshots?

12

I did that once! It felt so cool! I should do it more often. How often do you all use your S Pen?

That’s right! But did you know about scrolling screenshots? You can capture more than just what’s on your screen by tapping ‘Scroll’ after taking the initial screenshot!

16

I love how you can edit your screenshots right after capturing them! You can draw on them or add notes with the S Pen, which makes it flexible.

Exactly, @meganhill! The S Pen takes it to another level. You can easily highlight or crop parts of your screenshot before saving it. So cool!

18

Can someone explain how the scrolling feature works? Is it intuitive?

19

Yes, @qrichardson! Once you take a screenshot, look for the ‘Scroll’ option at the bottom. Just tap it, and your phone will automatically scroll down to capture everything. It’s pretty intuitive!

I find the editing options really handy, especially for work purposes. Being able to annotate screenshots directly saves time!
