Taking screenshots in Valorant on Windows 11 is simple and can be done in a few easy steps. Here’s how you can capture your gameplay:
1. Using the Print Screen key
Full-screen screenshot: Press the PrtScn (Print Screen) key on your keyboard. This will capture everything on your screen, including Valorant. The screenshot gets copied to your clipboard. To save it:
- Open Paint, by pressing Win + S, type “paint” and press Enter.
- In Paint, press Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot.
- Save the image by choosing “File” > “Save As”, then choose a location and format.
Only the active window: If you want to capture only the Valorant window, press Alt + PrtScn. This will copy the active window to your clipboard. Open Paint or any other image editor, press Ctrl + V to paste and save the screenshot.
2. Using Snip & Sketch
Press Win + Shift + S. This will dim the screen and show a small menu at the top with capture options:
- Rectangular Snip: Drag to select a rectangular area.
- Freeform Snip: Draw any shape you want.
- Window Snip: Click on the Valorant window to capture it.
- Full-screen Snip: Capture the entire screen.
Once you take a screenshot, it will be copied to your clipboard. A notification will appear – click on it to open Snip & Sketch. Here, you can annotate and save your screenshot.
3. Using the Xbox Game Bar
- Press Win + G to open the Xbox Game Bar.
Click the camera icon in the Capture widget to take a screenshot. The image will be saved to the “Captures” folder in your “Videos” library.
