To stop screen recording on your Chromebook, look to the bottom right corner of your screen and select "Stop recording." You can also use the keyboard shortcut Search + Shift + X to immediately halt the recording.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Using the System Tray: The most straightforward way to stop a screen recording is by clicking the "Stop recording" button in the system tray (also known as the status area) located in the bottom right corner of your screen. This area contains icons for things like Wi-Fi, battery, and notifications. When a screen recording is active, a prominent "Stop recording" button will appear.
-
Using the Keyboard Shortcut: A faster method is to use the keyboard shortcut. Simultaneously press the Search key (usually located where the Caps Lock key is on a standard keyboard) and the Shift key, then press the 'X' key. This combination immediately stops the recording.
