[@shireensingleton9674]

Ive been trying to learn this since forever. Thanks for much super helpful.

[@SummerRain368]

Thank you very much! Very clear instructions!

[@howdan1985]

Thanks so much Jason - your tip to press the decrease volume button and the power button on a Pixel phone to take a screenshot was so helpful! Much appreciated 👍

[@debbieanderson9215]

First explanation that made sense, thanks for letting me know to only briefly hold both buttons, thank you

[@timharber5203]

Thanks dude I just wasn't getting that guy at all 🤣

[@user-mz8tp2ho3z]

Thank you! So easy to follow. Totally love the Lightsaber on the wall!

[@staceydunkel-ql1my]

[@Cybersawz]

Awesome instructions! Briefly and clearly explained. You'd make an excellent teacher!

[@thetoynomadworld3796]

How

[@ladyhecate9450]

Thank you so much. This was very interesting and helped so much.

[@user-us9jm8sx7v]

Than you a lot. You are great at explaining details or steps.

[@gritsandgravy2387]

Awesome instructions; not long at all. Thank you!

[@davidlyons7238]

Thank you. I kept holding in too long, and now I know to do it quickly. Thank you.

[@TYP1970]

How many seconds did you hold it?

[@stephaniestolz9419]

Excellent! It WORKED!!
YOU SHOULD TEACH PROFESSIONALLY, you might be one.. What do I know.
Anyway, I'm thrilled. You didn't mess it up with Computer Genius Speak. It was really easy to understand. It also explains why I have screenshots that I didn't plan. The wake-up button and volume down are right where I hold my phone.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@jonahdiener7355]

Thanks, I've been trying so hard and I never went to settings to turn the caption on., No wonder why it never worked. Thanks so much man

[@desiraebeitzel1234]

The swipe does work on my Galaxy S21 FE. Thanks, I never knew about the swipe function!🤗

[@michaelwaddell9461]

Thanks so much for the membership!😊

[@TheRealHousewifeOfPG]

I have a Samsung and the quick press of the 2 side buttons (volume and power) works. The quick slide of the side of the palm works, too.

[@lanceuppercut5939]

Thanks for the tips, your screenshot shortcut of swiping the hand across the screen worked wonders for me.

[@ethio7557]

Thanks brother. Good teaching.

[@phayphay9261]

[@tammysmith7262]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@mistyeyes2161]

Didn't work on my Samsung just closed the screen

[@jackfflash]

Did not work

[@donnacristino4957]

I can't get mine to work either.

[@michelle.mustow593]

The same as mine just shut off

[@maggieboleyn3294]

I thought it didn't work on my device, either. Try checking your Photo Gallery, anyway. Sure enough, when I looked, there were TWO screenshots waiting for me.
THE OTHER PHONE/VERSION WAS A LOT BETTER. You could simply minimize the screen, and mash an actual button entitled SCREENSHOT.
Fine. It's. Fine.
Seriously, thanks thank very much for your video. Have a good day!

[@Vincent-fo7xp]

TY❤

[@heathersky8447]

It's not in the pull-down menu like in my old Android phone. I appreciate your advice it did not however work for me. I think I may have to buy a new phone if I want to take screenshot. What a bummer after spending nearly $500.

[@JayRee1993]

Thanks

[@fivecents9362]

Doesn't work in Android v.14 (Pixel 7), the Google Assistant takes control of the power button w/ volume control.

[@iamozzman990]

That was easy. Using a Samsung 23.
Thanks
