What is Reddit's opinion of Screencastify?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Kui eestikeelsed multikad on youtubes, siis internetis on tuhat-üks youtube downloader saiti, millega saab füüsilise videona ükskõik kui pikki youtube-videosid alla laadida. Ooojaa, vanad head ajad enne Spotify tulekut kusagil 00'ndate/10'ndate vahetuse paiku kui sai roppu moodi füüsilisel kujul youtubest ja piraadist muusikafaile salvestatud + mingeid lemmikvideosid telosse tõmmatud et vahtida (andmeside oli tollal liiga pask et youtubest vaadata väljaspool kodu) aga kõik enda tarbeks loomulikult. Vähemalt on hea teada et kui tuumasõda tuleb ja internet kaob, siis mingid arhiivid on olemas, lol.

Kahjuks aga YT downloaderid ei tööta TV3play-ga, kuigi ka sealt saab suure tahtmise korral ekraanisalvestus-brauserilisadega salvestada, aga sa pead mõtlema kas viitsid ette võtta, see on paras jahmerdamine a la reklaamide väljalõikamine, vaatama kas sai kõik peale, õige formaat, kas salvestas õiget osa ekraanist, kas heli on ok jne.

I'm a fan of Screencastify. It'll record a browser tab, or the whole screen. Extremely easy to use, and you can even edit video online!

I'm usually using a browser extension called Screencastify to easily record stuff in my browser window. It can also access your webcam and microphone to record your voice and show a record of you in the lower right corner. When you are done, the video is uploaded to Google Drive and you can even cut and edit it afterward.

I've been using video recording software to make screencasts for almost a decade. Some answers to your questions:

• Someone else mentioned Camtasia which I highly recommend. It's about $250 for a license, but your university might have an institutional license, and plus the software does everything.
• I also recommend Screencastify which is a Chrome extension. The free version is pretty good, and the paid version is relatively cheap ($29/year with the education discount) and it's very simple -- which is a plus.
• Finally check out Loom which is a tool for recording really simple videos and attaching them to emails. Good for giving feedback to students.

It looks like screencastify might do what you're looking for. I haven't used it, so I can't vouch for it, but it says it can embed your webcam in your recording.

I recently got this document camera for my classroom. It's a good value.

A lot of people recommend screencastify for recording software. It's very simple to use and integrates very well with google classroom (great if you're offering to help other teachers)

I recommended spending a few dollars to get a desktop microphone (or headset mic.) I find that the built-in microphones on computers are distracting bad. $10 goes a long way for a stand-alone mic.

For what it's worth, chrome also has the ability to capture the screen, and the 'screencastify' extension works.

Having said that, ffmpeg is far and away the more feature complete solution; not just in terms of available knobs, but also just basic features. Heck, chromium on obsd doesn't even have audio capture, so you can only take video only screencasts with it.. but even still, being able to smack a button in your browser and record a quick screencast that gets thrown up on gdrive is really convenient.

It's a chrome extension that will record your Desktop (or Unity) and save it as a .webm. There's some features behind a one-time subscription (cropping it using the extension) and 10min of recording time at once max. If you just need to record Unity fullscreen it does the job.
