I use it for quick tutorial for teachers, reflections for students, recording directions. It's great for screen recording or making presentations with audio!

#### Ratings breakdown

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

#### Pros

I've been using this product for about 2 years and it just keeps getting better! First off, the free version is great! What you get for nothing is hard to beat. The ability to quickly screen record a lesson, tutorial, etc. is awesome. And it's so simple to use. I also love that it links seamlessly with my Google Drive and other social media platforms. They are constantly providing helpful updates, as well. Plus, their customer service and help site is very helpful.

#### Cons

Due to fact that they update so often (which is good), it is difficult to keep up. Nothing major really changes, they just keep you on your toes with all the simple updates and changes they make!

### Screencasts Made Simple

As a teacher who makes many instructional videos, I have found Screencastify to be invaluable. It takes a lot of the stress out of making screencasts

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Screencastify takes the guesswork out of making a screencast. With simple, easy-to-use controls you can make a screencast in 3 clicks. The toolset and editor also allow users to make screencasts that range from simply recording the screen to on-screen annotations and text. It is a lightweight but powerful tool.

#### Cons

The biggest issue I have experienced is stopping the video and accessing the tools can slow down the video. There are shortcut keys but they require hitting multiple keys. The flow of the video can sometimes be affected by switching tools or stopping the recording. If you use the mouse to stop the video and do not want that on the end you must manually remove it. It would be helpful if the shortcut keys were simpler.

Screencastify is a great, free screen recording program for people looking to get started with making videos.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 2/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Screencastify is simple and intuitive to use. If you are looking to make short screen sharing or presentation videos, it is a great tool. The video quality is high and the integrated browser add-on makes it easy to record quickly.

#### Cons

The price of pro features, at an organizational level, is a little pricey. Also, only allowing 5 minute video recordings in the free version seems a little short. All you are promoting is users making multiple 5 minute videos as opposed to one long one - still the same end game. Let the user have unlimited recording length and just brand the video for free users.

I use Screencastify to record short (between :30 second and 10 minute) videos for either marketing use, instructional use, or simply to reply in a personal way to an email from a friend, customer, or potential client. I use this weekly, and in certain seasons, daily. I love it!

I love the ease of use of this software. It's a simple Chrome plugin that you click, select what you want to record, and begin recording. Having it save automatically to either Google Drive or YouTube is amazing, and I love that I don't have to spend time uploading or fussing with editing. I simply love this software.

#### Cons

Screencastify has dramatically cut down the time it takes for me to create user tutorials for supporting my users in various capacities. It's a great tool and a good value for the money.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

I administer our nonprofit's database system. As an admin, a big portion of my job is ongoing user training. I used to build user manuals with tons of screenshots, which takes approximately forever. Now, I use Screencastify to do actual screenshare videos of the processes that I need to compile into user manuals. I also use it on a one-off basis to share processes with users if they're having trouble with something specific. The users love it, and it makes my job loads easier.

#### Cons

It does take a while to download the videos, but it's not that big of a deal.

### Praise for Screencastify!

#### Ratings breakdown

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

#### Pros

I use the Chrome extension. I use the free version. The free version only lets you record for up to 10 minutes I think, but that is enough for me. It is intuitive, clean, and I love how all my videos instantly have a shareable link as soon as I'm done recording. You can record a single tab or your entire screen. Easiest thing out there. Other stuff requires downloads or there is a big learning curve. Not with Screencastify. I'm so happy I found it and so are our website developers! Explaining what we are experiencing (issues, bugs, etc) is super easy.

#### Cons

No cons. I'm so glad I found Screencastify. It has made my business life so much easier. I'm glad the free version gets the job done.

I began using this when my school shifted to remote learning in March 2020. Since then I've found it a great resource to use when my students are unable to attend classes and I can explain everything through video ahead of time. This saves me writing a lengthy email they may not read!

#### Ratings breakdown

I love using this software to pre-record a lesson. The best feature is that it allows me to crop it once I'm done so I can make sure only the parts I need are saved.

#### Cons

It takes quite some time for a recorded video to download onto my chromebook, which means I have to wait before editing, which is a minor annoyance.

### One Of The Best Web Based Screen Recorders

Screencastify Is a wonderful tool for creating video tutorials and demonstrations directly on your computer. The ease of recording and sending videos makes it great for fast paced work environments, and the user-friendly interface makes it a welcoming tool even to those who do not have as much experience with technology or screen recorders. While I miss the flexibility of the free version, paying for this tool is absolutely worth it if you are making a lot of screen recorded tutorials or demonstration for those in your job or home life.

#### Ratings breakdown

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

#### Pros

Screencastify Makes it incredibly simple and fast to record your screen and/or WebCam for easy tutorials and demonstrations. The fact that you can share these videos almost instantly after recording makes it a prime option in fast paced work environment.

#### Cons

While the free version of the application still allows users to record videos, they have increased restrictions over time and reduce the number of videos free members can record to five unless they delete previous recordings. Paying for Screencastify gives users access to unlimited recordings and editing tools, and while these are great resources, it can still be a little sad when some of these used to be free.

### The quickest and easiest tool for recording your screen

I started using Screencastify several years ago to record video guides for my clients and courses after hearing about it online. I immediately liked its simplicity and continue to use it today and recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and easy tool to make screen recorders. Before Screencastify I had never made a screen recorder and I was very happy with it.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Incredibly simple, just press a button to start recording the screen, record as long as you need and press another button to end the recording. Time a few minutes and the video is uploaded to the Drive and ready to be shared with whomever you want

#### Cons

Video editing tools have never been very quick and easy to use.

### Easy, powerful and flexible

We started with the free version (limits to 5 minutes of recording and, I believe, has a water mark). After realizing that showing staff how to do something is more beneficial than creating "how to" documents, we purchased a couple licenses to try it out. From there, more and more staff wanted to use it and we currently sit at 15 licenses that we can "check out" as needed to any of our staff. No regrets in our purchase and our staff love it.

#### Ratings breakdown

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

#### Pros

Very simple to set up and easy to use (even our non-technical staff use it often). Installation is simply adding a Chrome Extension and then assigning a license to an email account. Having the flexible licensing (allowing us to transfer a license from one user to another as needed) is great since recording videos, typically, isn't a daily need. The options are easy to understand allowing the user to share a desktop, browser tab and even show the presenter in-screen on the recording. The addition of drawing tools really enhance the entire package. Cost is low and well worth it.

#### Cons

Honestly, there is very little to not like about Screencastify. Any issues that we've had have always come down to user error (such as the webcam not being installed or plugged in). I did not rank customer service since we've never had to use them. That, to me, says volumes about how easy the product is to use.

I like the ease of use. With little knowledge initially, I was able to figure out how to record and post the recordings for the students to watch on their time.

#### Cons

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Pros

As a K-12 Instructional Technologist in Anderson One, I rely on and use Screencastify on a regular basis. I use Screencastify to record how-to tutorials for my teachers, administrators, and even parents and students in our district. Screencastify is very easy to use. I love the ability to edit my video and upload to YouTube all within Screencastify.

#### Cons

I would love the ability to record my screen and have the option to also have my webcam showing me in the bottom of the screen. We have seen this option in Loom and would like it added to Screencastify as well.

#### Pros

I love that it captures my viewboard screen so I can share examples with my students. I did not need any extra equipment and it took about 2 minutes to allow permissions and I was ready to record.

#### Cons

The share screen label will not go away. I can move it, but it is a distraction when I have to move to continue working out a math problem for my students.

#### Reasons for switching to Screencastify

Our district needed a more uniform approach to reach students virtually. This platform has allowed us to teach face to face and virtually at the same time.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 2/5

#### Pros

I have used the free feature for over a year and it has saved me some time on instruction per class period. With online learning, I needed to extend my instruction by a little more than 5 minutes, so I didn’t think twice to pay for the subscription.

#### Cons

The customer service infrastructure is terrible. I have made my second recording as a paid member and for whatever reason, the software doesn’t recognize me as being an upgraded member so it won’t let me download the file. I have contacted them over 3 times, filled out two forms over a 4-day period and have yet to receive anything except a blank response from a [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. I have followed all of their troubleshooting tips on their FAQs, so it must be something on their end. Either way, I will have to re-record using another service or postpone my lesson.

#### Pros

Screencastify is extremely user friendly. It is very easy to figure out. It has many great features such as how you'd like to record. Whether you want to include a picture in picture or just the screen.

#### Cons

The only con is that the free version only allows you to record for 5 minutes and you are not able to edit. I did purchase the yearly fee, which gives you access to recording longer videos as well as editing. I think that this is one of the cons for a teacher. I would like it to be a free resource for teachers.

#### Pros

Screencastify is one of the best softwares I’ve purchase for recording videos of my work with overlaying of my voice and video content. Originally I got the free trial to test out the software. I loved it and even with the free trial Screencastify let’s you record 5 min videos! In order to make longer videos for school, I made the purchase and haven’t looked back. I haven’t found a product that makes it so easy to record your screen and edit in other aspects. Must have for teachers and/or assistant teachers.

#### Cons
