Hiya @AnneD.

A capo is that little hinge clip, it goes on the fretboard and covers all the strings and shortens the length of all the strings. People use it to change the key they are playing in without changing their chord shapes, and it’s also useful to make learning new music easier because the frets are not so far apart.

Tony P. explains it much better than I can. He’s got a course all about capos in the Skill Courses section here in TAC. Here’s the link to it:
