While not in a video call


Using built-in Windows ‘Camera’ app

  1. Click  Windows/Start button, Camera (If this app isn’t available follow the section below.)
  2. Click the Photo or Video button
  3. Pictures/Videos taken are in the bottom-right & located in Documents\Pictures\Camera Roll

Please consult IT if you’ll be recording longer than 15min video as it takes excessive storage space. We’ll provide a workaround


No ‘Camera’ app? Improvise with Zoom/Teams

  2. Take a screenshot with PrtScrn (Print Screen) button. On Nexus PC’s you’ll see crosshairs & green lines, click & drag the area you want a screenshot of. Then you’ll be given a grey menu asking what you want to do with the screenshot: save as a file, clipboard will allow you to paste it elsewhere, Outlook & Word will put the screenshot in a new email/doc in those programs
