Before going into details on how to take a screenshot in Moto G, I would like to tell you that there are many third party applications which we can download from Google Play Store which have the ability to edit and crop screenshots.These third party applications not only let you take screenshots but also allow you to make beautiful changes to the captured screenshots which include adding text, color,clipart etc., I suggest you to use Google’s own ‘Photos’ app to make these desired changes.This app comes preloaded in Android.
Must know benefits of capturing a screenshot

Devices running on latest versions of android OS need not be rooted to take screenshot.Since Moto G is running on the latest version of Android which is 4.4.4 (KitKat), you need not root your device or install third-party applications to take a screenshot. You can straight away capture anything being displayed on the screen, including notification bar and the buttons on the bottom of the screen.
