CR Crystal R. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/19/2026 "Perfect for Teachers, Enhances Remote Learning" 5/5 What do you like best about Screencastify? I love Screencastify because it hooks up to my Google Drive, so all of my videos are instantly downloaded into my Drive. That's probably my favorite part. I also love that you can transform videos into just audio files. As a teacher, I use it a lot for explaining and modeling, which is wonderful for students who aren't in the classroom, especially those on independent study. It allows me to record and personalize videos or model multistep processes, which is very helpful. Sometimes I use it to read a text to students, stopping and modeling annotations, and it's great to have an audio version of the text for students to listen to if that's how they learn best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Screencastify? I think maybe I tried to download too many audios, and it said I had to upgrade. That would be my only critique, for educators, maybe there could be free or... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Screencastify solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Screencastify to explain and model assignments for students, solving the problem of not being able to do this in person. It's especially helpful for students on independent study, personalizing content and demonstrating multistep processes effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Screencastify is so easy to use, it’s almost ridiculous. It’s clearly designed to be used quickly and without fuss, which really matters for educators, right? When my classroom was more technology-based, I used it all the time. Even now, as I’m becoming a bit of a Luddite, I’m still glad I can navigate the program easily and find the features I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Screencastify? I don't have a downside. I'm sure the program is not perfect, but I've never had enough of a problem or complaint to remember, write down, or address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Screencastify solving and how is that benefiting you? I needed a way to connect with my students who were chronically absent. Creating videos that can be close-captioned, stopped for comprehension, and easily edited was a must. I can spend some--not all--of a plan period catching up these students, and I know the end product is good because, well, I made it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Certified Trainer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/11/2025 "Efficient Recording, Inefficient Review for Google Certified Trainers" 5/5 What do you like best about Screencastify? 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. What do you dislike about Screencastify? 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. What problems is Screencastify solving and how is that benefiting you? As a Google Certified Trainer, my main business problem is time and the need to reach more people. I can't be everywhere at once answering the same questions. Screencastify solves this by letting me create a "record once, share many times" training library. The biggest benefit for me is speed to delivery. I can record a "how-to" video, do a quick edit, and publish it directly to my YouTube channel. This turns a time-consuming process into a simple, minutes-long task, allowing me to scale my training effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it allows me to include my webcam image and add live annotations while recording. The automatic upload to Google Drive is a big plus, and being able to edit the recording directly in the browser is really convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Screencastify? I wish the default annotation settings—like color and line thickness—and the webcam settings, such as its size and on-screen position, could be customized when starting a new video. I also wish the countdown could be paused (as it used to be), so I have time to adjust my setup and configuration before recording begins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. What do you dislike about Screencastify? 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. What problems is Screencastify solving and how is that benefiting you? Screencastify helps solve the problem of effectively communicating instructions, lessons, and feedback in both educational and professional settings. Instead of relying only on text or live demonstrations, I can easily create clear video explanations that students or colleagues can revisit anytime. This not only saves time during class and training but also ensures that learning resources are accessible on demand. For me as an educator, it has been especially helpful in creating tutorials, giving personalized feedback, and supporting students’ self-paced learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
