    1. Hi Pablo, sorry for the late reply. The shortcut keys for different capture options are displayed in the main menu that appears when you click the extension icon. You can also click Options in the menu to change shortcut key as you like.

  3. Hey there, been using Awesome Screenshot for a while. I’ve tried tons of different extensions but this is the one that in my opinion is the absolute best. Nothing can beat it. Easy to use but there are so many features. And your extension doesn’t do the annoying thing where you promise a ton of features…but don’t tell you that they’re all locked behind a subscription with only the most base features available. Really love Awesome Screenshot, will continue to use and recommend!

  4. You should have a donate button at the very top of each update message screen… I wouldn’t mind throwing you a few dollars from time to time as you have such a great product.

  5. Love what you’re doing guys. It would be awesome to have a ‘dim’ ability to highlight parts of the screenshot and the rest be dim. Just a thought.

  7. Man, this extension is amazing. It’s so nice in fact I might use it for starting a new youtube channel. Is there any chance you will add a button where you could export your video to youtube at all? That would be amazing, Thanks.

    1. Thanks for your comment. To directly upload a video to YouTube, you can choose to “save video to Local” before start recording.
