@Monoreuk

I can bump my topic after 2 weeks right?

Yes you can.

Sorry for the edit, I just changed the (Updated&Restored) to (Updated & Restored) because it was bugging me

Click this button to glaze Seamless only! ! !

(Reusable bump)

I’m removing the reusable bump because it’s broken

[Godatbedwars]

one big question how do you do it with this chromebook keyboard?

[SeamlessMoon]

Did you know this section of the guide exists (joking)

@Monoreuk

Chromebook

to create gif on chromebook you need…

Ctrl+shift+desk icon

Then, click on the camera to record the screen

The next step will be to create a screen that you must select, take the button, and swipe it across the screen. After this, you will have the window that you selected. in the middle there will be “record” and a little to the left there will be a stick “🢓” you need to click on it and you will have a gif button, after which you click “record Gif” and that’s it. record a video, and finish it. and that it sends your work mechanisms, ideas, and so on to the forum.

(joke but make sure to read the guide next time)

[Godatbedwars]

oh because you said use a home button my key board doesn’t have one O_0

[SeamlessMoon]

Here

I messed up at the end and didn’t know what to do
@Monoreuk , can I add this to the Chromebook section of the guide?

@Monoreuk

I’m not sure if this is necessary, I once did what you did but I was asked to simplify it and just enter by keys on the keyboard, so I’m not sure if this is necessary in the guide

Oh, ok then ig

@SeamlessMoon

you didn’t have any buttons probably because you were already recording the screen at that moment

[eiqcrmeliutgwhc]

you could do shift+command+4 (or 3)
edit: *ctrl, not cmd (sorry i use mac primarily now so i get those confused)

[twofoursixeight]

I’m gonna put new images for the iPad portion of the guide. Maybe the chromebook one too but not sure

[twofoursixeight]

Finished making drastic edits to the guide by editing the instructions to more accurate steps and making sure everything is right.
I have two more methods to share:

ShareX - external program on windows you can download

1. Download the program: https://getsharex.com/
2. Expand the capture option then click on the option to record the GIF
   
3. Aim the cross hair where you want to record:
   
4. Press “Abort” to discard the GIF. Press “Stop” to save the gif.
   
5. The file is saved to ShareX dashboard.
   
6. You can also find the location where ShareX stored the file. Navigate to your ShareX folder under the Documents folder. For example, C:\Users\[username]\Documents\ShareX

1. Open the edge panel by swiping from the right side of your screen.

2. Make sure the edge panel is on this page then select animation.
   
   
3. Drag the handles then select record:
   
   
4. Press record, pay attention to the amount of memory being used, when done , press stop.
   
   

Note that these images and instructions are based on One UI 6.1

ShareX - external program on windows you can download

great, this definitely needs to be added to the guide, but there is 1 but, from the very beginning I made the names “for school devices” which implies that even if you are on a school PC you will still be able to go in and make a gif this way, I tried to go to getsharex.com (from a school Chromebook) and I couldn’t do it, it’s blocked for me, I have never used Sharex and I would like to ask, are you sure that everyone will be able to get additional access to sharex even through a school Windows PC?

Samsung tablets/devices running One UI software

this is a good guide for samsung, thanks!

[twofoursixeight]

Most devices running samsung software are on ONE UI 7 now.

One UI 7

1. Open the edge panel by swiping from the right side of the screen then open this item that I circled:
   

   

2. Draw where you want to create your gif.

3. Press the three dots then select record gif.
   

   

4. Press the button to record your gif, press the X button when done.
   

   
   
   Note you cannot move the device when recording a gif.

[Aguero10]

Bump! I guess.

I should record this and make a gif…..

[TwiceOnce]

Bump =D
Fun fact: (On Windows) you can press the Windows key + Shift + s to shortcut to the snipping tool

[NagiSeishiro]

Bump! I really needed this. Amazing guide @Monoreuk

[twofoursixeight]

I updated the iPad section of the guide for the latest version of iPAD OS. Nothing changed except for major visual changes and the fact you cannot swipe from the bottom left corner anymore to screenshot thanks to the new windowing system unless using the full screen mode explicitly. For reference, we are on iPad OS 26. I also have a windows computer now so I will update this guide when I get access to that next friday.

For people wanting to screenshot with hot corners, it’s not possible unless you go back to the old-school style.

@Monoreuk

First, press the following keys: Windows+Shift+S

Afterwards, press the video icon in the interface that pops up on the top of the screen.

Drag your mouse over the area you want to record, and press Start.
When recording the video , a recording indicator shows at the top of the screen. To stop recording , press the red square at the top.
After recording the video, you will want to press the GIF button.

After pressing the GIF button, you can export the video to a GIF.

You can choose 2 resolutions, Low or High. Due to the 2MB limit, select Low and export the gif. Save the gif somewhere and post it on the forum now. You can also press Copy if you want to quickly post it to the forum.

I completely rewrote the Windows Section of the guide to be completely original.
I will also work on removing the screenshotting sections of the guide since this isn’t correct to the guide. The screenshotting section of the guide I removed was for the iPad since we don’t screenshot in this guide.

I forgot: Everything in the quote I wrote is my writing now.

[Monoreuk]

omg 24 you just saved me. I was always using OBS on my personal computer, which isn’t very convenient if I want to get a video really quickly. I didn’t even notice the video recording button on top when I was taking a screenshot. Thank you.
