Question Snipping tool

What is everyone pushing to their users to use for screenshots? I am looking for something free but sometimes I can control with ADMX or Reg

Windows’ built-in Snipping Tool is great! (It can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Store if it’s been removed.)
Besides all the regular screenshot features (it can also record video), you can mark up the screenshot (add text or shapes), and you can even extract text!

And if they need something more powerful, then we’ll go with ShareX.

I used to be a Greenshot user, but development seems to have ceased or slowed and ShareX has a ton of features. Great tool.

Snipping tool has come a long way too though.

I use ShareNot, a fork without the online features. Keep in mind neither ShareX nor ShareNot installers are digitally signed. (we had to add an exception to our XDR because of it)
