Screencastify Reviews & Product Details

As a Google Certified Trainer, what I love most about Screencastify is its efficiency.

It streamlines my entire workflow:

(1) Easy Recording: I can capture my screen and my webcam with just a couple of clicks.

(2) Simple Editing: The browser-based editor is perfect for me to make quick trims, add text, or blur sensitive information.

(3) Instant Sharing: As soon as it's done, I can upload it directly to my YouTube channel, which saves me all the hassle of downloading and re-uploading.

This means I can create a polished, clear "how-to" video and share it with my trainees in just minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest frustration is that I can't change the playback speed 'inside' the editor.

I want to review my video at 1.5x or 2x speed to quickly catch mistakes before I export. Instead, I'm forced to re-watch everything at normal speed. If I find an error after exporting, I have to go all the way back, edit, and re-export, which wastes a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is a very simple tool. The extension makes it very quick to record a screencast. I am able to do some editing after the fact, but I rarely need to. One of my favorite features is that I can immediately publish to YouTube. This makes it super simple for me to put my training videos onto YouTube so that I can refer to them later.

Sometimes there are glitches or delays. I've done some recordings that miss the beginning of my recording. I have also tried doing some editing, and when I preview it, I don't see everything in the preview window. It gets frozen on a screen, but the audio keeps playing.

I find it extremely convenient to edit the videos that I already have, as the editing tools make the entire process smooth and effortless. In addition, what I really appreciate is how easy it has become to record my screen, since the browser extension provides quick access and simple functionality without the need for complicated setup. This combination of effortless video editing and user-friendly screen recording makes my work not only more efficient but also much more enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I also experienced some drawbacks, such as the slow processing speed and the inconvenience that the recorded video was not reflected immediately while capturing the screen. Even now, I am still not sure why this issue occurs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to start recording a video and afterwards to share a direct video link.

Moreover, this allows us as a company to easily reproduce issues in our system so we can send the video to our software developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of Screencastify is that you cannot easily save videos. This means that you always require an internet connection in order to see the video.

An improvement would be to add a functionality to download a video after you have shared it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
