What Users Love About the App
“I like how convenient the software is to use, that I didn’t have to download anything for it to work and that you can upload your screencasts to Google Drive. I also like that the software feels easy enough for a beginner to learn to use.”
“Screencastify is a phenomenal and easy-to-use tool for teachers and students! It has so many great features. First, you have the ability to create videos of your screen (with or without your headshot).”
“I enjoy how easy it is to use and how quickly the video is processed. It easily integrates into Google Suite for Education products.”
“I love that I can click record and create a lesson for students who are stuck at home. I can choose to record my entire screen, or just one tab. Also, the editing is great. I can cut out what I need.”
“This is an affordable and simple to install solution for screen capture and video sharing. I like to use the software for capturing video tutorials and explanations to accompany my email clarifications.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“I’ve only used Screencastify in Chrome, and I’m not 100% certain it works in other browsers, but that could be a dislike for many people. Some populations aren’t fans of Chrome, and they may prefer to use Screencastify in a different web browser.”
“The free version is very limited in scope and you have to pay for a subscription to get a better product that can record and post longer videos.”
“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 into record.”
“I wish the editing capabilities were a bit more robust. There are some capabilities in the paid version.”
“I do not like the controls getting lost on my desktop once I start switching between my browser and an app for my document camera. I wish the controls would unpin from the browser so I can move them independently.”
