This will take a screenshot of whatever is presently on your screen and save it to your clipboard. You may then quickly paste it into an application like Paint or GIMP to modify or post it online. Using this approach to collect screenshots is beneficial if you wish to capture anything that is outside of the game window or does not fit inside its bounds.

This will take a screenshot of what is now visible on your screen.

After capturing the screenshot, click Shift+Tab to see and manage in-game screenshots on Steam. Select “Screenshots” from the menu bar at the top of the overlay window when you see the Steam Overlay.
