  Learn about the hotkey that invokes Omnicapture here: [Amplecap: capturing web content with our Chrome/Firefox extension#Omnicapture](/help/amplecap_browser_extension_guide#Omnicapture) . 
  
  **💡 Some tips:**
  Use this method when:
  	You want to capture an idea while browsing the web
  	You don't want to leave that important Twitch stream to create a new to-do for yourself
  	You are adding a task and [other people can see your screen]()  
  Don't know which existing note to add quick notes to?
  	Maybe it's time you [**set up an "📫Inbox" note**]() ?
  	Bonus points if you [add it to a Task Domain](https://www.amplenote.com/help/using_calendar_task_domains#)  
  	- or [set up a recurring "review" task](https://images.amplenote.com/b67e8b62-cb97-11eb-9866-da3b9fa1c227/833f7fb5-3c75-4849-8bc6-68ea308f40b4.png) ! 
  
  # 📸 Adding useful visual context to your notes
  **Summary: **Using Amplecap, take a screenshot of a relevant section from a web page and manually paste it to your document inside a Rich Footnote.
  [**Capture mode:** Screenshot selection, **Content formatting: **Note body, **Content destination: **Clipboard into Rich Footnote](https://images.amplenote.com/8d1d1478-e5b8-11ec-94aa-f2e2bc5c6b4b/7d3b277d-5f32-4206-8166-af79f2d1ea96.png)

  To get started, simply open up the Amplecap interface and select the parameters described above. You will will be prompted to [draw a rectangle]()  over the part of the page you want to capture.  Hitting Ctrl-Enter will capture a screenshot of the selected area and either save it to [**Amplenote's ****copy buffer**]() ** **or to the **note selection screen**.
  
  
  **💡 Some tips**:
  Use this whenever you need to make a point that requires a screenshot from a web page ([Because humans are visual creatures 🙂](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4574956/) ).
  **Note body** instructs Amplecap to add your captured content plainly to the note body. If you want Amplenote to paste your selected image into a **bullet** or a **task **instead, choose Bullet point or To-do item respectively.
  The Rich Footnote that will be inserted will have the value from the optional [annotation text](/help/amplecap_browser_extension_guide#Step__1.3:_Choose_the_annotation_text)  field as the link text, so feel free to type entire sentences as you would if you were inside your note!
  You can uncheck the Insert content into Rich Footnote option, in which case your screenshot will be **pasted directly to the note body**, with an RF pointing to its source, as seen in the example below:![](https://images.amplenote.com/ffe47777-9b89-4308-92ff-dfd22f249f0b.png) [Subreddit traffic stats](https://www.reddit.com/r/Amplenote/about/traffic)
