Only screenshot the part of the screen you want.

If you only need to screenshot part of the screen, there's a simple way to do it for both Windows and Macs.

For Mac: "Command," plus "Shift," plus "4" brings up the tool. Then you just drag the area you want.

For Windows: Just go to "Start" and then "Snipping Tool."
