ScreenPal Reviews & Product Details

ScreenPal makes recording videos, tutorials, and quick walkthroughs incredibly simple. The interface is clean and easy to understand, so even new users can start recording right away. I really like how smooth the editing tools are — trimming clips, adding captions, and overlaying text can be done in minutes. It’s lightweight, doesn’t slow down my computer, and makes sharing recordings straightforward with just a link or file download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, the upload or export process can take a bit longer than expected, especially for large, high-quality videos. I also wish there were a few more advanced editing options included in the standard plan. However, for quick and professional-looking recordings, it works really well and gets the job done.

I like how smartly all the feature are laid out. Anything I need to use a lot is easy to get to, and I can literally understand how to use a new feature without being told how. It's *that* intuitive. The most impressive thing about that is just the sheer variety of things it can do without ever having the leave the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing close to a dislike I have isn't the software, but the website. It's not obvious to me where to go to get info on things, it's not often linked to directly from within the app, and when I get there finally it's not always clear that my answer is on the page. Sometimes the articles feel like stubs or rely too much on a video. The videos are great but I am just lazy enough to want to quickly scan through a nicely formatted page.

I like using ScreenPal for capturing videos on my desktop because it is straightforward and user-friendly. The software also includes a good range of editing and annotation tools, which I find quite useful. The cursor highlight allows my mouse pointer to stand out, which is a feature that is not available in all desktop capture programs. The software is extremely easy to use and it doesn't require much in the way of computer resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I like best about ScreenPal is the Cloud hosting and easy sharing. I support nonprofit software users. I can create a quick video to share with my team when we are troubleshooting problems with our user's software. It saves so much time to be able to explain a technical problem with a quick video. Also, I can create videos for non-technical users that make the training very user friendly and easy to understand. I can easily share a link to the video.

The customer support is timely and very helpful.

If the video contains sensitive information, I can protect it with a password. I use the video editing tools to blur information that might be sensitive, and to clip parts of the video. The editing tools are easy to use. I especially appreciate the ability to record screen, webcam, or both simultaneously, which is great for instructional videos and online training.

As a nonprofit employee who is always trying to save money, I'd use the free version if I could. Even though I try to keep videos short, sometimes I need to create videos that are longer than what is allowed under the free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ScreenPal is incredibly user-friendly and perfect for quickly creating tutorials, demos, or training videos. I love how simple it is to record both screen and webcam simultaneously, add captions, and do basic editing right inside the tool without needing extra software. The cloud hosting option makes sharing videos effortless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the advanced editing features are only available in higher plans. Also, rendering large videos can sometimes take longer than expected, but it’s manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reason I love ScreenPal soooo much is because I am able to change my background which is extremely important to me when recording. I don't want to have to worry about if my background is distracting when creating videos OR if I want my background to go along with a theme this platform is perfect for that. I also love that I am able to replay a segment in the middle of a recording. This is helpful for me if I have made a mistake, need to take a pause because I forgot to mute my phone, or maybe I want to change my screen either way I love this playback feature. I love how you can generate a link to the recording to give to your learners or anyone who needs to watch the video. The editing tools are great. You can remove the cursor or camera if needed and when needed. I love how you can add music to your video on the platform. I don't have to spend time finding and uploading audio unless I desire to do so. I highly recommend educators use this when creating instructional videos. You will thank me later! The editing tools are the bomb99. Everything is easy and seamless to me. I appreciate the storyboard feature. I could go on and on about ScreenPal and how beneficial it is for my instructional videos. I will close with you can even control how much of the screen you want to record before recording. This could save you time if you don't want to do additional editing to your video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be steep for novice. I work with other educators as a mentor and sometimes some of my mentees find it harder to use because they are unable to download it to their computer and run into tech issues. ScreenPal has improved a lot since I first started using it. I was using the platform when it was Screencast O'matic. Right now honestly there isn't anything that I do not personally dislike about ScreenPal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software’s intuitive interface makes it incredibly easy to capture my screen and create clear, concise tutorials. What I love most is how it allows my trainees to visualize the steps in real time, making complex processes much easier to understand. The ability to annotate and highlight key points during recordings enhances the learning experience, ensuring that nothing gets overlooked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were options available to filter or organize the recordings I have previously saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used ScreenPal (and Screencast-o-matic) since 2020 to communicate with my students and my colleagues. I not only used it to record, but also the editing features. And if I can figure out the editing features, anyone can! I cut portions of my videos, as well as blurred text for privacy. I have made many, many explanations for my online (as well as in person students), whether it was a lengthy, in-detail explanation about an assignment, or a quick explanation to the faculty in my department. Now my college has integrated ScreenPal into our LMS- which was very happy to see! Additionally, it is not difficult to add the captions to these videos, as is required. The AI used to detect the words has improved since I started using it. I typically have to correct less than 10 words in a video. I highly recommend this tool!

I have not found any downsides to ScreenPal. It has been a very useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I read that question and genuinely thought "oh my God... What don't I love?"

I know how that sounds, but I'm serious.

Before I rant, I'll give a TLDR:

Use ScreenPal if you want...

1. Ease of Use

2. Great Customer Support

3. Amazing Features

My confession:

Before ScreenPal, for work, I would record in Teams and then use Clipchamp to edit. It was time consuming on account of their limited toolset and the fact you can't see the audio wavelengths so you had to watch and re-watch just to find silences and things like that.

ScreenPal, even at its most basic level, out performed Camtasia and Clipchamp at screen recording and editing. With our Business Team subscription, I have Storyboards, access to hosting, AI features... The tool was already amazing and it just keeps getting better.

I've raved so much about ScreenPal that multiple business units have approached me to learn about the amazing video editing software we have. It has become a key asset in content creation for internal users and client-facing materials.

Our VP of Ops even told me that one of my videos was the best one he'd ever seen in the history of our company. I simply told him I could do it because I had ScreenPal - and so could he. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two things:

1. I'd like the option to annotate outside of the video recorder.

2. There has to be a little bit better support for 30 minute + videos. The desktop app is doing so much that it nearly crashes or corrupts files when they get too big. Even with backup on, this seems to be an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
