    Dear @Santos Mehrara,
    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. From your description, I understand that you want to add a caption “bubble” to your screenshots (the “dumbbell/bumbell caption”) and customize the text/lines shown inside that bubble.

    Typically, the built-in Windows Snipping Tool is mainly for capturing screenshots (rectangle/window/full screen/freeform) and then making basic edits or notes before you save or share. The official Snipping Tool guidance doesn’t include a specific “caption bubble/dumbbell caption” template feature or settings to customize multi-line caption text.

    Therefore: I recommend as below:

    • Use Snipping Tool for capture + basic notes: Take the snip, then add your text as part of the markup/notes before saving or sharing.
    • Use a screenshot editor that supports speech-bubble callouts: Some non-Microsoft tools offer speech-bubble “callouts.” For example, TechSmith Snagit has a Callout tool where you can add a bubble with text and adjust the callout (including resizing the tail and adding/removing tails).
