A scrolling screenshot is a screenshot with which you can capture content outside of what you can visibly see on your screen. For instance, you are viewing a document/content on a site and you screenshot it all. Instead of taking multiple screenshots, one after the other, from top to bottom, you can take a scrolling screenshot that covers all, or most, of the content in one single long screenshot.
If you own a Google Pixel, there are scenarios in which this comes in handy. For example, you might want to take a screenshot of a long Web page. This is one of the most common use cases for taking a scrolling screenshot.
The scrolling screenshot is a feature that not a lot of users know about but can be very useful, as well as time and space efficient in multiple situations. Let’s take a look at how to take a scrolling screenshot on Google Pixel smartphones.

- Head to the screen/content that you want to capture.
- Press the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time briefly.
- At the bottom of your screen, tap on Capture more.

One way to understand the functionality of a smart TV is to define it as a television that doubles as a desktop PC. That definition paints a clear and bright picture of the kind of things that you can do with one.
As a television, you can watch both terrestrial and satellite broadcasts on it, and connect it to a media player (CD/DVD player) or home theatre to playback video and audio content.
You can also connect your smartphone or gaming console to it in order to “cast”. That means, you can use it as a big screen for devices with smaller screens.

As I have already explained, a smart TV is an Internet-connected television that doubles as a big screen computer. As a connected device, it needs an Internet connection. Note that you do not need an Internet connection in order to watch regular TV, but if you want to take advantage of the connected PC side, an Internet connection is essential.
