If you want to capture a scene in an [[area]] in {{hp}} using both screens, you'll need to combine and align them manually, since each screen is an independent screenshot. Vertically, you'll need to place a gap between the two screens, which seems to be 32 pixels high. Horizontally, both screens should be centered.

* Using the built-in screenshot and video feature. Press the capture button for a screenshot, and hold it to save a video of the last 30 seconds. To export images and videos, there are 2 options. If you have a microSD card in your Switch, screenshots will be saved on that. Turn your console completely off, remove the card safely, and connect it to a computer to access the files. Alternatively, the Switch has a feature to export images to a mobile device or social media site. In the image gallery, select a screenshot or video, press {{button|switch|a}}, select one of the export options, and follow the instructions on-screen. If you download the file from a social media site before uploading the file to Pikipedia, the quality may be degraded.
