Shift + Command + 5… click "Options" in the bar down the bottom of the screen. (Also, try hitting space a couple of times in that mode.)

    While recording your screen, you can also record your microphone by choosing it in the Options menu. However, there is no way to record audio that is output to your speakers unless you first create a custom audio source using Soundflower (https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower) or Loopback (https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/).

You can also do it using commandline `defaults write com.apple.screencapture show-thumbnail -bool false`

Found out the other day that you can drag and drop this into a document...

  Hmm, it must be something special in certain apps. I've tried that into the Slack desktop app and it didn't accept it

    That’s odd that was my exact learning example

The preview thing is really handy as you can directly drag and drop it into a document or chat window or whatever. After you’ve done that it won’t be saved, which is great as you can quickly snap and use a screenshot without having to switch to the Finder - and the desktop doesn’t get cluttered with hundreds of images.

  A huge problem with this is that some apps don't "accept" this drag and drop, and the preview just disappears without saving the screenshot file. I can't remember the exact apps which behave that way, but I've been burned and irritated multiple times because of this. As a result, I disabled the preview feature and added the screenshot folder to the dock just like OP did.

    I’ve seen this with most cross platform apps - like Slack and Skype. What I found you can do instead is use Cmd-C to copy it and then paste it into the app. That generally works.

    And folks wonder why people get annoyed with non-native apps on Mac.
