"Screencastify Review as a Google Certified Trainer"
5/5
What do you like best about Screencastify?

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.

"Best browser-based screen recording software out there"
5/5
What do you like best about Screencastify?

Screencastify is one of the quickest ways to record directly from a browser with their browser extension. Makes helping others a piece of cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Screencastify?

Sometimes the extension logs me out randomly. I've lost recordings in the past that have simply disappeared without a trace. These seems to be older bugs that have been resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy application to record short to medium videos"
4/5
What do you like best about Screencastify?

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.

What do you dislike about Screencastify?

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.

1. Screencastify is very easy to use and we are continuously using this to record the screen to share with our colleagues.
