About Screencastify

Screencastify is a Chrome extension that allows users to record, edit, and share HD screencasts. Customer support and sales teams can create videos such as demos, tutorials, and UX/UI tests within the Chrome browser. Videos can be shared with customers and audiences via YouTube, Google Drive, and more. Screencastify allows users to record different shots, including whole desktop screens, specific browser tabs, or by using the webcam only.

This solution can also be used by schools with a blended or distant learning environment. Educators can use Screencastify to record lessons, create projects, and share videos with students. With Screencastify, users can also narrate videos using the device microphone. Annotation tools include a mouse spotlight, drawing pen tool, and click highlighting, which are designed to increase focus and engagement with videos that are created.

I use Screencastify to teach students how to navigate features online when we are not in class together. I also use it to film lessons ahead of time.

Pros

I like that Screencastify can be added as a Chrome extension for Google Users. The film can automatically be downloaded into my drive. I like how you can share your screen and share your face.

Cons

The product is user friendly but difficult for children to use at times for filming classes. It also can be hard to tell when you are filming and if it has stopped recording. I wish you could change the size of the webcam video, like split the screen to share

Best screecasting tool for the money

I use this tool daily. I support school administrators and teachers with their student information system. Creating a screencast to actually demonstrate what I'm trying to teach or troubleshoot with grades, etc. is priceless!

Pros

It has a Chrome extension that when installed only takes two clicks to begin your recording. It also saves to your Google Drive.

Cons

The free version of this software does not allow you to edit your videos. I wish they included that. But the mere cost of $49/year/users isn't too pricy to get the editing feature.

It does not work well to record something that is in any sort of window that is not a web browser. You cannot zoom in. You cannot edit you cannot highlight you cannot do anything to make your video better if it is in an application. It is a low level piece of crap. That’s why they don’t offer a free trial.

Pros

If you want to record something that you were doing in a web browser it works fine.

Cons

If you want to record something that you were doing in a web browser it works fine.

The ability to quickly and easily capture screen recordings on my Chromebook and share them via Google Drive.

Pros

Easy to use, automatically uploads to Google Drive and creates a sharing link with 1 click, allows cropping duration or part of screen, selecting to record tab or whole screen, audio from tab, user or off.
I've tried lots of other screencasting offerings and this is by far the best I've used. Soon after purchase I got in touch with some questions about how to do a couple of things and they were prompt and polite and answered everything. Seriously, this software is amazing and I use it most days and love it!

Response from Screencastify

David,

Please do reach out if you have questions or more feature requests in the future!

I use this to teach a lesson, submit work, and make short videos.

Pros

This is one of my favorite softwares. It is so simple to use and easy. I am not a tech person, by any means, and this makes me feel like I know what I am doing. After watching a short clip video on how it worked, I was able to do it no problem. I love how I can make a powerpoint, show it, then have my voice in the background. It is so nice and just very convenient. Or if I need to switch between my face and the powerpoint I can do that.

Cons

I do not like that I cannot go back and fix a mistake if I make one. I have do the whole thing over again. That is the only annoying problem I have with this.
