Situations that come up most often during setup and regular use.
On Windows, it's the Print Screen key; on macOS, it's Shift + Cmd + 9. The shortcut can be changed in the app's settings.
By default, the app offers to save a file to disk, copy it to the clipboard, or upload it to the prnt.sc server to get a short link. The save folder can be set in the app's preferences.
Anyone who has the link can view it — there's no additional access restriction for a standard upload. For sensitive material, saving locally is the safer option.
Most often it's a conflict with another running app using the same key combination. Check the settings of other open apps, or assign a different shortcut in Lightshot itself.
No, the app is built for still captures only. Video recording requires a separate tool.
Capturing and marking up an image works offline. An internet connection is only needed to upload an image and get a short link.
There's no dedicated Linux build, but the app runs through the Wine compatibility layer and has been tested on Ubuntu.
The extension only captures within the active browser tab, while the desktop app captures the whole screen, including other windows.
