Panos Panay, Windows boss at Microsoft, introduced the new Windows 11 screenshot tool.
Windows 11 must mark a new generation of PC for Microsoft. The firm wants to rework the most used functions, but also some very practical tools such as screen capture. Since Windows 7, the system has indeed integrated a screen capture tool that allows you to easily save the image of a window, of a particular area or of the entire screen. With Windows 11, the tool will be reviewed.
Merge with Screenshot and Sketch
With Windows 10, Microsoft had left out the screenshot tool, which was still available, but no longer highlighted. Instead, the system offered "screenshot and sketch" accessible from Windows + Shift + S. The tool was really integrated into the system and made it easy to take notes, especially with a stylus, over the screen capture. 'screen.
For Windows 11, Microsoft will mix the two approaches. The Windows 7 screenshot tool will be entitled to a brand new interface in the colors of Windows 11. The Windows + Shift + S shortcut will always allow you to launch a capture, which will instead take over the interface of the screen capture tool. Windows 10.
It was Panos Panay himself who announced this redesign on Twitter with a short video.
The video does not indicate whether the tools will be entitled to new functions. For example, we would like to be able to record short videos or GIFs directly.
The first announcement of a (long) sequel?
The beginning of the video published by Panos Panay may suggest that this is the first episode of a series of small videos that will concern several of the software provided with Windows 11. We can indeed see around the capture icon screen, the icons of other software such as the calculator, the camera, the music player, Paint or even the "Your Phone" application. Maybe we will have the right to a short video for each of them.
