Click Record, do the task, and click Stop: ScreenCap Docs finds every step in the recording and saves a screenshot of each one, with a red ring where you clicked and a first-draft caption. Review the steps, add captions, arrows, and labels, crop, blur passwords and other sensitive information, and export to HTML, Word, or PowerPoint. Everything runs on your computer, with no telemetry. Recordings and output go in Documents/ScreenCap Docs in your home folder by default (an existing Documents/Screencap Documentation Tool folder is kept). Any folder in your home or on a removable drive can be chosen. The built-in recorder needs an X11 session; recordings from any other screen recorder work too.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install ScreenCap Docs To install ScreenCap Docs, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install screencap-documentation-tool ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
