Screen-Cast-O-Matic is the easiest screen capture software I've used, and in 20 years as a corporate trainer I've used a lot of them. Capturing the screen is very similar to other software of this type. It's the editing features that make the big difference. I'm able to easily cut, blur, highlight, zoom in, etc. in just seconds. No other screen capture software that I've used is this easy. I also like the video picture in picture feature.

The only issue I've had with this software is when I got a new computer with a high resolution monitor. The software isn't made to work at high resolution and the interface is very tiny. I have to record, and then relaunch allowing the system to adjust the scaling in order to the editing. I did report this to the company but it doesn't seem to have been fixed yet.

I have used Screencast-O-Matic for recording digital product reviews on YouTube and for making short tutorials and it has worked well. What I like the most about it is how it allows me to make edits on the recorded video very easily, making the video look professional.

Screencast-O-Matic makes it so easy to record any part of your screen and edit your recordings. I use it for recording some of my tutorial videos or making digital product review videos for YouTube. You can record your webcam or external camera, import your own videos or stock videos, audio, add text, shapes, etc and save all your files online. You can also upload to YouTube directly if you chose to.

Some of the features in the paid version are available for free on other platforms, but if money isn't the issue, then it is worth paying for. Not recommended if you want to stream games.

I didn't use to have problems, but lately it is hit or missive it will work.

I did love the ease of ScreenPal to do recordings, but it so often freezes and I can't even exit it from my computer. Several times I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but it is just a pain to have to continue to deal with this issue.

Doesn't want to function on a regular basis.

I've had a great time working with ScreenPal over the past couple of years. I have other software that can screen-capture, but this one is pretty lightweight - fires up quickly and doesn't bog my system down when using it. It does its job well, and includes extra features within the same price point that makes it a great tool in my arsenal.

The price point is great for what I use/need from ScreenPal. I really just needed screen/video capture for explainers/"how to" videos, and have been really satisfied with that. Over time, I've dug into the other features (like "building"/"storyboarding" videos, recording narration first and stepping through the video capture, etc. These are more than I needed, but included in the price it makes this product a real bargain.

I personally have a hard time getting the drawing features to work properly for me. Not that they *don't* work, but don't seem intuitive or easy to initiate while I'm screen-capturing.

I'm using SOM to create all our company's screencasts, tutorials and short presentation videos. It's intuitive, fast, and does everything we need (with the above exceptions).

I especially like the video editor, whose interface is uncommon, but really comfortable to use, different from any other tool I considered. And you have tons of options to create very sophisticated videos.

Right now, when you overlay an element to your video (such as another video or an image), you don't see its coordinates, so it's difficult to create 2 different videos with elements in the same spot. I'm also missing a quicker way to generate GIF previews in order to share videos via email. And finally, I'd like more options to embed videos to emails, because the current iFrame and oEmbed aren't correctly rendered by Gmail, for instance.

The best thing which we liked about this product is that we can work as an organization instead of an individual and we can share our content with our peers and make it password protected.

needs more improvement towards adding more content in its library for font types, background, interface, audio, and transitions from one slide to another.

I'm only able to produce low to mid-level content doe to its klunky operation.

Web-based tools that help me produce learning content. The price is not ridiculous.

It is not user-friendly. Too many functions require me to look up a web link to access that function. It doesn't have its own connections to its own features. When a feature is upgraded, there is barely any information about it. There needs to be a robust and friendly Knowlege Base for all features and integrations.

Simplicity in basic features. Very user- friendly interface

1.While recording the video it's difficult to find where to truncate since the time line is very dense. Takes a long time to find.2. No feature of improving sound quality such as equalizer or cutting out noises.

I'm quite satisfied with the software and it does the job of screen recording very well.

The intuitive and minimal interface is very good for creating good quality screen recordings with it. It also offers royalty free music and stock images and videos to juice up your productions.

The editing capabilities are limited. A multi track or multilayer editor will be much helpful.

I have had a very good experience with the system.

Screen recording and camera as well as editing

The appearance of the framework has changed a bit comparing to the previous one before the name change.

I have used many tools from simple to complex and this tool has all I need, when I need it.

Screencast-O-Matic has been a welcome addition to my weekly online learning tools. It can be used for giving anyone a direct link to video directions you create to weekly lesson plan coverage. All videos can be edited from items ranging to adding music to blurring out unwanted images on the video. This comes in handy as a staff leader for creating "How-to" videos for our staff. It also is easily integrated with most learning management systems like Schoology and Google classroom for example.

There are many tools to choose from when editing, which can take a bit to use, but most are not needed, but can be useful when needed.

used it for 5+ years and it allows us to quickly create quality content

ease of use - so easy! we build courses and mini modules for about 5 product lines and client are always blown away by our response time

not sure maybe more features like AI at some pt

I need to create custom recordings of software functionality for internal and external audiences. Screencast-O-Matic makes it easy to create a quick high quality video with transitions, effects, text, easily edit in and take out content... it's just great.

It's easy, responsive, and just awesome. I use it nearly every day to record edit and then easily share/post up to my YouTube channel to then distribute to customers and colleagues quality videos.

Nothing really, it more than meets my needs.

Terrible.

The application is very buggy and crashes all my pcs.

I was a user of Screencastomatic (the previous Brand) for 6 years. see below what they wrote next to my profile "You have been a member for 2244 days and have 810 videos and 0 images! Whoa!"In 6 years, Screencastomatic was very reliable. It never caused any issue on any of my computer.Recently they changed the name to Screenpal.Since then, the app keeps crashing my PCs. The app is unusable. It says that I failed to download the latest version but Nothing on my end seems to indicate that.Whomever bought the company screwed it up very fast.All they needed to do was to leave it alone. This is really a case of: If it ain't broke don't fix it.I am curretly looking for another solution.

Overall, I've had nothing but positive experiences with this software. The price is affordable if you need the added premium features, but the quality is the same even on the free version!

You can go from download to recording in only a few minutes--there isn't a complex setup. Recording is quick and easy to do and the ability to store videos locally or online is great. The paid version is very affordable for anyone who needs the added features.

Some people would say that the lack of built-in editing features is a negative but that's not what you're paying for. Honestly, there really isn't much that I don't like about the program.

I have tried several tools and this is the best considering price, features and ease of use.

The learning curve is short, intuitive product with many features.

Sometimes when I upload content to YouTube, the video recording is not of good quality.

Excellent customer service and helped me so efficiently with a pricing query.

They’ve thought about all the features you might require to create great videos. Having the ability to add in music background and high quality photos is great for my content as a yoga teacher.

I’ve created my own in PowerPoint but I’d love to see Cue Card availability. When I first started using this I got very confused about the uploading video facility so I’d recommend you watch the very helpful tutorials or you record directly into the system.

Very easy to install the app and capture videos and screenshots. It allows to edit the videos and provide shareable link. As a QA engineer, I can easily record the videos of the bugs and issues and share it with developers and team members.

Can be improved further for storing the recordings.

It's a tool I've been using for years to share videos of my screen at work. It's easy to use and fast. Since I bought it the first time it has almost doubled in price, but for now I'm still here.

Easy to use and very stable. With the subscription you get a repository where you can host your videos and share them easily and quickly.

Even if you choose the highest quality, the videos you upload to the repository have some loss of quality.

I can easily create videos for my students and staff. I like that I can edit and upload directly to YouTube.

Too often, I need to reinstall the plugin, which is time consuming.

Easy to use, choice of outputs - youtube, MP4 etc

n/a

I'm happy with the product and shared my experience withy colleagues who will also be using it

The product is easy to use, I like the fact that I can demonstrate functionalities of the system to the users

I can't seem to get the responders out of my SharePoint to comment and give feedback

If we include retakes, I've recorded hundreds of videos using Screencast-O-Matic. If you're considering it, just give it a try!

Ease of use and convenience are the first things that come to mind with Screencast-O-Matic. New users don't require any training - it's intuitive.

The video editing options could be improved.

I would still recommend this software to anyone because it is a lifesaver for those who have not much experience editing videos

I loved how easy was to get the most out of this program without spending too much time trying to figure it out. The quality of the screencast is amazing and allows you to play with different tools to improve the design.

I wish the audio recording had more tools to make recording easier. I had to start over many times just because I could not insert some audio in the middle of a piece of recording
