How do you turn on 3 finger screenshot on Samsung?
Is there an easier way to screenshot on Samsung S21?
Does Samsung support 3 finger screenshot?

The only way to take a screenshot on this phone seems to be by:

holding the volume down and power button at the same time
swiping the edge of your palm across the screen
using the toolbar apparently, we never figure this one out

I though the 3 finger gesture for screenshot was universal for all android phones? Is there a way to enable it?

None of the above methods seem intuitive compared to 3 fingers down the screen.
