How to take a screen shot of the loading screen

I've noticed a lot of people posting images showing the "Loading Screen" before a match, where all 10 players are placed. However pressing F12 doesn't save a screenshot. How do people take a screenshot of the loading screen?


One way to take screenshots is to add the League of Legends client as a non-steam game to Steam. Then you are able to use whatever key you have set up in steam to take screenshots, and you can upload them to your steam profile.

  1. Open your steam client and click add game

    List item

  2. Browse to the folder where League is installed

  3. Select the League of Legends Launcher

  4. Open League through your Steam library

  5. You should see Steam when the launcher comes up

  6. Now whenever you press the key you have assigned in Steam to take screenshots you will here the camera sound steam plays. After playing you can view your screenshot library for the screenshots you have taken.

Worst case, pressing the print screen key will place your entire desktop into your clipboard. You can paste into MS Paint or the like.
