WHAT DOES SCREENSHOT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Screenshot

A screenshot, screen capture, screen dump, screengrab is an image taken by the computer user to record the visible items displayed on the monitor, television, or another visual output device. Usually, this is a digital image using the operating system or software running on the computer, but it can also be a capture made by a camera or a device intercepting the video output of the display. In the 1980s, computer operating systems did not universally have built-in functionality for capturing screenshots. Some text-only screens could be dumped to a text file, but the result would only capture the content of the screen, not the appearance, nor were graphics screens preservable this way. Some systems had a BSAVE command to capture the area of memory where screen data was stored, but this required access to a BASIC prompt. Screenshot kits were available for standard cameras that included a long hood to attach between the screen and camera lens, as well as a closeup lens for the camera. Polaroid film was popular for capturing screenshots, because of the instant results and close-focusing capability of Polaroid cameras.

Definition of screenshot in the English dictionary

The definition of screenshot in the dictionary is an image created by copying part or all of the display on a computer screen at a particular moment, for example in order to demonstrate the use of a piece of software.
