Why the screenshots I take don't get saved in the desktop rather I could only find it in the recent option from finder?

Previously I was able to save a screenshot in the desktop but now a days ( recently ) for some reason the screenshots I take never gets saved and I can only find them in the recents option from finder. Not only that, it doesn't even show any previews.


Any help would be highly appreciated.

Open the screenshot app (cmd-shift-5) and click the Options button. Check there to see where it is saving the screenshots.
