First off, the free version is great\! What you get for nothing is hard to beat. The ability to quickly screen record a lesson, tutorial, etc. is awesome. And it's so simple to use. I also love that it links seamlessly with my Google Drive and other social media platforms. They are constantly providing helpful updates, as well. Plus, their customer service and help site is very helpful. > > **Cons**: Due to fact that they update so often (which is good), it is difficult to keep up. Nothing major really changes, they just keep you on your toes with all the simple updates and changes they make\! > > I use it for quick tutorial for teachers, reflections for students, recording directions. It's great for screen recording or making presentations with audio\! ----- ### "Screencasts Made Simple" — 4.0/5 > **Christopher** | *10 June 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Screencastify takes the guesswork out of making a screencast. With simple, easy-to-use controls you can make a screencast in 3 clicks. The toolset and editor also allow users to make screencasts that range from simply recording the screen to on-screen annotations and text. It is a lightweight but powerful tool. > > **Cons**: The biggest issue I have experienced is stopping the video and accessing the tools can slow down the video. There are shortcut keys but they require hitting multiple keys. The flow of the video can sometimes be affected by switching tools or stopping the recording. If you use the mouse to stop the video and do not want that on the end you must manually remove it. It would be helpful if the shortcut keys were simpler. > > As a teacher who makes many instructional videos, I have found Screencastify to be invaluable. It takes a lot of the stress out of making screencasts ----- ### "Screencastify" — 3.0/5 > **Brian** | *15 May 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Screencastify is easy to use to create videos and to edit the beginning and end of videos. > > **Cons**: Screencastify is not as easy to use to edit the middle sections of videos. > > Screencastify is costly and is not as user friendly as other similar products. ----- ### "Great Tool but Pricey for Pro Features" — 4.0/5 > **Bryan** | *23 May 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Screencastify is simple and intuitive to use. If you are looking to make short screen sharing or presentation videos, it is a great tool. The video quality is high and the integrated browser add-on makes it easy to record quickly. > > **Cons**: The price of pro features, at an organizational level, is a little pricey. Also, only allowing 5 minute video recordings in the free version seems a little short. All you are promoting is users making multiple 5 minute videos as opposed to one long one - still the same end game. Let the user have unlimited recording length and just brand the video for free users. > > Screencastify is a great, free screen recording program for people looking to get started with making videos. ----- ### "Screencastify Makes Screen Sharing a Breeze" — 4.0/5 > **Luke** | *16 July 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Screencastify plug-in makes it very easy to quickly record my sceen and download it into a sharable video. > > **Cons**: I have nothing negative to say about this tool > > This is an extremely useful tool as a Client Success Manager because it provides the perfect solution when an email would take to long and the issue or solution would not be as easy to describe over a phone call. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/440339/screencastify?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/440339/screencastify) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
