Smart TVs are incredibly useful. Use these internet-connected devices to stream and manage your movies and shows without an external connector. You access media through different apps, like Netflix, Hulu and countless others. You can add more apps to find content that better fits your interest. Knowing how to manage the apps on your smart TV can help thwart hackers.

Screenshots are common practice, but you often capture more than you need. Revealing too much of your screen in a single image can actually threaten your security. Instead, you can take a screenshot with precise cropping, so that you include only what you want.

On a Mac, press Command + Shift + 5, and a rectangle will emerge, which you can manipulate as much as you want.

On a Windows PC, go to Start, enter the Search Bar, and type Snipping Tool. This will give you a similar box that you can drag to any shape over your screen.
