# Screen capture

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure that you have the [Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/guideflow/neabdmkliomokekhgnogbeonopbjmajc) downloaded and installed on your browser before you get started.
{% endhint %}

There are two types of screen capture:

* **Screenshots** (static images) - captured on every click.
* **Videos** - captured either automatically or manually, based on the following triggers:
  * [Automatic video capture](/help/capture-a-guideflow/how-to-capture-a-guideflow/screen-capture/automatic-video-capture.md) - triggered when you drag & drop, scroll, or type (configurable in [Chrome extension settings](/help/capture-settings/chrome-extension-settings.md)).
  * [Manual video capture](/help/capture-a-guideflow/how-to-capture-a-guideflow/screen-capture/manual-video-capture.md) - triggered using keyboard shortcuts (configurable in [Keyboard shortcut settings](/help/capture-settings/keyboard-shortcut-settings.md)).
