"Quick and easy screen recordings with links and GIF exports"
5/5
What do you like best about Screencastify?

I like the Chrome Extension to easily and quickly record a video. Once done with your recording, it's very easy to share a link to the video, download the video and/or download a GIF of the recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Screencastify?

The sharing settings are a bit clunky as it defaults to private. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Screencastify?

"Screencastify is the most powerful screen recording application."
5/5
What do you like best about Screencastify?

This software is extremely successful because the idea of creating pre-recorded videos of what I am doing for training purposes or internal process analysis prevails. I also use it as a guide creator for support, this helps clients or employees. The support is very good and of high quality to improve the performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Screencastify?

I have no problem with this software, I have made many video creations to indicate great potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best recording tool!"
5/5
What do you like best about Screencastify?

I really love how easy to use Screencastify is. It makes it super simple to navigate recording videos for remote learning. You can record from your webcam, record your screen, or even record your screen and from your webcam at the same time. You can also edit videos right within the interface and it couldn't be simpler. One feature that I love is that the video uploads right to Google Drive, and from there can easily be shared across different platforms. I personally love that I can upload my video right to Google Classroom. It takes out all of the annoying steps of other recording tools! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Screencastify?

One downside is that it can be tricky to figure out what your screen will look like as you're about to record. I wish the timer prior to recording was a bit longer. It takes me a few minutes to truly get my bearings and figure out the best placement for me to sit in to record. This is such a minor flaw though that it doesn't impede the success of the tool.

"Screencastify Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Screencastify?

Screencastify is a wonderful tool to help create videos and share your screen. We use it all the time when we want to make a short video for one of our students. You can use it to make tutorials on how to access something or where to go if a student is confused. This helps because they can rewatch the video as many times as they need and rewind when necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Screencastify?

The free version will only allow you to record up to a certain amount of time (I think it is 10 minutes), but that is amazing regardless since you don't have to pay for this app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Videos have a time limit with the free account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SCREENCASTIFY simple and fast, effective communication."
4/5
What do you like best about Screencastify?

Screencastify is an amazing simple tool that will enhance the way you communicate at work. Instead of writing long emails, reports or documentation, messages are sent faster and more clearly with an on-screen video. It has been used by account managers, sales teams and marketers and the truth is that it has a very attractive interface, easy to use, and optimal management can be achieved as days go by. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Screencastify?

There aren't really many drawbacks to this program. Any issues we've always had are due to user error, like the webcam is not installed or plugged in. The only thing we wish they improved upon is the 5 minute recording limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
