HOWTO: Take a Screenshot in Windows Phone 8 (WP8)

  • Article

Hey everyone,

It would appear that I received a lot of interest in my first blog post. Unfortunately, most people who arrived at my blog probably thought that I was another more famous Steve in Microsoft. So, just to clarify, I am an Infrastructure Consultant from Microsoft Services in Canberra, Australia.

Anyway, onto the topic of the post. This is a simple quick blog post, which demonstrates how to take a screenshot on Windows Phone 8 (WP8). I can't believe how simple it is, but I found it out by accident, so I thought I'd share it with you all:

To take a screenshot on WP8, simply press and release the Power and Windows buttons at the same time (ala control-alt-delete). The phone will take a screenshot, and it will be stored in a new folder in your photos called Screenshots (under the Photos - Albums link).

Simple hey?

Till next time....

Steve
