Snagit is a versatile screen capture and recording tool that allows users to take high-quality screenshots, record screen activity with audio, and create annotated instructional content. Ideal for teaching, presentations, and documentation, Snagit supports image and video capture across full screens, specific regions, or scrolling windows. It integrates directly with tools like Camtasia and Panopto, and is compatible with both Windows and macOS systems.
