"My Review is Screencastify"

5/5

What do you like best about Screencastify?

You can pause the cast and gather yourself before continuing with whatever project you’re working on. I’m a grad student and have to do several screen casts in only classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Screencastify?

There isn’t much to dislike unless you have stage fright! I at first did because it’s like speaking into a mic in front of stage since many people will be watching, but after a while you get used to it. Overall it is straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Screencastify:

If you are talking over your screencast, make sure to have yourself organized and in a quiet room or else you could be there all day trying to record. A good microphone will pick up everything unfortunately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Screencastify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to interact with colleagues in online classes and showcase work in visual form while speaking over it to give an explanation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
