Which one is correct?
Screenshot is probably a noun.
Is screenshotting grammatically correct? or it's just screenshoting?

Screenshoting Or Screenshotting?
Answers

The correct word is:
Screenshotting - The act of taking a screen shot.
However, as Stephen commented it's best to avoid it and say:
- take screenshots
Screenshooting sounds like an act of shooting (at) screens. (this word doesn't exist)

You "shoot" a picture with a camera. You are using your phone's camera to shoot a picture of a picture. It makes perfect grammatical sense for the correct verb to be screenshoot. "Sounds better" is never the right answer in grammar.

Welcome to [ell.se]! Do you have any dictionaries or other sources to prove this? Unfortunately, English grammar does not always "make sense". – Glorfindel – 2020-06-02T19:31:47.373
