Q: Hide one display from sharing

Hi everyone. Here is my question - Is it possible to configure screencapture in the way to capture only one display? I have my macbook pro display + I have Samsung, and I want my os x yosemite to capture only one embedded macbook pro display.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

    Hello IvanUrsul,

     

    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to take a screenshot of only one screen. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

     

    OS X Yosemite: Take pictures of the screen

    Take a picture of part of the screen

    1. Press Shift-Command (⌘)-4.

    2. Move the crosshair pointer to where you want to start the screenshot.

    3. Press the mouse or trackpad button, then drag over the area you want to capture.

    4. When you’re ready to take the screenshot, release the mouse or trackpad button.

       

      To cancel, press Escape before you release the mouse button.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day

    Do you want to capture a snapshot from just one screen? What @mario49 suggests is the answer ... in part. Here is a reference to a fuller set of commands.

    Do you want to capture a video from just one screen (a screen-cast)? You can use QuickTime Player to do this. You can also get a (more powerful) screen-cast application. I recommend IShowU or Camtasia.
