Everybody loves a cool trick. 

No matter how well we know an app or program, there’s almost always some shortcut we never learned. 

The same goes for hardware, we may use gadgets every day without knowing their helpful quirks.

One strong example I will give is Zoom

Many of us just discovered zoom of recent If I'm right 😉😊

So here are some of my favorite popular tech tips, tricks, and shortcuts for a range of popular programs and tools:

1. REOPEN A CLOSED BROWSER TAB

It happens all the time. 

You have a dozen tabs open in your browser and accidentally close the wrong one. 

You could open up your browser’s history and reopen the tab from there, or you can as welll do it with a couple of keystrokes like Ctrl + Shift + T on you PC or Command +  Shift + T on your Mac to automatically reop the tab you closed.

2. SHARE A YOUTUBE VIDEO AT A PRECISE POINT

If you see something in a YouTube video that you want to share at a particular point, you can get a link that takes people directly to that moment, you can get a link that takes people directly to that moment. 

Click the Share button below the video. 

Look for a checkbox below the link, It will automatically display the time at which you currently have the video stopped.

if you're okay with the time, you can use it otherwise you can choose your preferred time.

Copy the link and share it on your preferred social media or mail it to a friend. 

When someone views the link, the YouTube video will automatically skip right to the point you chose.

3. CROP A SCREENSHOT 

Screenshots are common practice, but you often time 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 Windows 10, 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 while on a Mac, press Command + Shift + 5, and a rectangle will emerge, which you can manipulate as much as you want.

4. UNSEND AN EMAIL

Did you just send out an email to everyone that was meant for one person? 

Well, Gmail has the ability to unsend an email by adjusting one setting prior to writing your email

This recall of a message will also allow you to modify spelling errors, incorrect recipients, subject line and even append forgotten attachments.

Be sure to adjust the setting to a higher number than the default setting of five seconds. 

Let’s face it; five seconds isn’t even enough to realize you made an error, let alone hit the unsend button. 

Thankfully, Gmail settings provide the option of pausing an email delivery up to 30 seconds.😮 

5. USE YOUR VOICE IN GOOGLE DOCS

Aand finally, I bet you already use your phone’s speech-to-text to dictate text messages or even emails, but did you know you can do the same in Google Docs? 

It’s free and it works surprisingly well.

Open a new document in Google Docs, then enable Voice Typing from the Tools menu. 

Then start dictating. 

Voice Typing recognizes commands like “comma,” “period,” and “new paragraph” as well.
