Overall, I’m a massive fan of Screencastify.

I’ve already produced a number of videos using Screencastify premium, and the extra features and lack of watermark make it well worthwhile, especially when you consider the competitive price. I was impressed enough to purchased the premium version, and am very glad I did. I used the free version for about half a day to test it out. However, you have fewer export options, and your videos will also have quite a prominent watermark in the upper right hand corner of the screen. The free version allows you to record the screen, record audio etc. You install the extension, and then you can get started making recordings!īasically, you can make a video that shows what you are doing on your screen, as well as record an accompanying audio track (useful if you’re narrating a tutorial or something) or you can use system audio. It’s a Chrome browser extension that allows you to record your screen. What if there was a better option for someone looking to make basic screen recordings? Something like a Chrome browser extension? Well, luckily there is! What Is Screencastify? There are also free options out there – such as OBS or Camstudio – but they can often be clunky to use. Both require the installation of software. However, both Camtasia and Screenflow are relatively expensive. Some of the most famous (which I plan to review in due course) are Camtasia and Screenflow. There are loads of different screen recording software options out there. It’s immensely useful for creating training videos, product reviews and more.Ī simple screen cap video can save a whole lot of hassle when trying to explain a task to a freelancer, client or colleague. One of my favorite types of software/application is screen capture software.
