### Screencast-O-Matic for teachers

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Karen S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: E-Learning
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: September 2022
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I like using screencast-o-matic for screen recordings! It works well and lets me use a stylus and on screen writing. It's easy to edit, download, and share.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I love how easy it is to use screencast-o-matic! I don't have any special video editing skills, but have quickly learned to edit short screen recordings for review of questions for students. This software is intuitive. It is easy to record, to edit out parts, add in content, and make a usable product.

#### Cons

I've really not found anything I didn't like. I've gotten better at editing as I've used the product more, but it was easy to use with a little practice. I didn't have any formal training and easily picked up how to use the program.

### Good but can be better

- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months

I have only done a few things, but it is user-friendly for the most part.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

I like that you can record and even add to your recording questions.

#### Cons

I would like to be able to save a recording and then go back and add to that one rather than splice other recordings together. As an instructor, it is essential to be able to stop at a point and then be able to get right back into the same recording. Maybe I am missing something...

#### Reasons for choosing ScreenPal

The ability to embed questions within my lecture is easier.

Old app, when it was Screencast-o-matic: so easy, I was a big advocate New app: terrible, it just doesn't work

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

Used to be such an easy program to use. The old program (I started using when it was Screencast-o-matic) made it very simple to record online classes and make them accessible to students.

#### Cons

Terrible, TERRIBLE conversion to new app and format. Videos now don't save and can't be converted to a usable format (this used to be very easy). I spent a good bit of time recording a class on the new app, and then spent several hours trying to save it, to no avail. Nothing I've tried will save the video and all the work's down the drain. Looking for a new recording program now, will never use Screenpal again.

#### Vendor response

Hi Scott, I'm so sorry to hear that you're having issues with ScreenPal and I'd like to make sure our team can help. You can reach out to me directly. Thank you very much for sharing your feedback.

### ScreenPal is my Go To Tool

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Mill D.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: E-Learning
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: February 2024
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

A+ experience with ScreenPal. I have recommended it to others and at least 2 people have purchased it from my recommendations and still use it. I LOVE ScreenPal. When I started using the price point was insanely low so it was a no-brainer to subscribe for several years in advance because this tool was just so awesome!!!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I used ScreenPal when it was Screencast-O-Matic. I learned about it from Youtubers that said making their videos was inexpensive and easy. I've been using it for a long time. I truly enjoy the ease of video editing, screen recording and link sharing. Those are my favorite features. Now that I know about the audio recording features, I will definitely be using those. The simple pricing and low cost for such an easy-to-use, robust tool of this caliber couldn't be passed up.

#### Cons

One of my biggest cons would pertain to layering of edits made during video editing. For example, if I've cut one part, then overlay text next, then inserted a video, etc. I'm not able to just remove that first cut and keep the rest of the edits that I made subsequently after that. Now granted, I'm not a professional video editor, so I'm not sure if that's something you can do anyway, however that's the biggest con. I have to essentially start everything over if I mess up an edit later down the line. Perhaps you all have some training on how to do this and I'm just not aware, but that's the only issue I would say.

#### Reasons for choosing ScreenPal

Price and steep learning curves were turnoffs

### My GOTO screen recorder

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Geoffrey J.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: January 2022
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I'm delighted with SOM. I've been using it since V1 to share tutorials with my team, record webinars, VSLs, online trainings and group meetings.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Screencast-O-Matic is like the powerpoint for video/screenshots. You can quickly and easily record your screen and/or your webcam... or make screenshots (without having the app crashing on you in the middle of it). Then edit what you need with their embedded editor. (I like that the mic signal is cleaned automatically within the editor to remove undesirable noises.) One more click and your final output is shared online within their included cloud service. If you chose to save the video to your computer, you won't need to re-compress it with handbrake to save space as it's already producing decently sized files (3 compression levels available). You can even configure it to save your work files in the cloud so that you can come back later to them from anywhere and continue where you left (or just cancel as many actions as you wish - all your history is saved along with your final output). I also like the fact that it comes with royalty free music we can use within our videos in a few clicks. I'm happy to pay monthly. The price is ridiculous and it's an awesome product that keeps being updated.

#### Cons

To my regret, they removed in V2 the "automatic documentation" feature which was available in V1. There is now the possibility to import an external video and edit it within the tool; unfortunately, some MP4 codecs have playback issues. That's about it for the cons.

#### Reasons for switching to ScreenPal

Camstudio : It kept crashing and the final output needed to be edited and/or re-compressed with another tool. Camtasia : It kept crashing too back then and it was adding a heavy load to the computer when recording.

### Highly intuitive and easy to use screen recording platform.

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Kris M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Marketing and Advertising
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: January 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

The platform is incredibly easy to use, very intuitive, and ideal for novices as well as those who are more familiar with screen recorders.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The price to upgrade and use the system's full array of features is quite modest and definitely worth it as the platform is incredibly easy to use.

#### Cons

The platform does not offer an option for a one-off payment for lifetime use of the product. Instead, if a user wants to benefit from the more advanced features that go beyond the free package, they will need to be an annual subscription.

#### Reasons for choosing ScreenPal

Screencast-O-Matic seemed to be a more versatile and reliable product.

#### Cons

Doesn't want to function on a regular basis.

I've been with Screencast-o-matic/Screen Pal for several years now. You cannot beat it for content creation on a budget. Overall, I love the quality my video/podcasts have compared to similar content creating software.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5

#### Pros

Screen Pal is easy to use, offers music, and had drag and drop options for content creating. Once my AI generated book chapter is recorded I can create a video/podcast in about five minutes using Screen Pal.

#### Cons

Well I don't like change and when Screencast-o-matic switched over to Screen Pal I had to relearn how to use it. But in the end its twice as fast to drop and drag all my content into the story board. I'd also love more music selection specifically for podcast creators. But overall I still love the music feature as it adds so much.
