by Hetal Thakkar

Description

A screen capture tool, can be used for to  record screen and webcam, publish on youtube, and export as mp4, avi, flv movie.

Its free and works with mac and windows.

One-click screen capture recording, you can publish it on screen-o-matic website, you can publish it on youtube directly and you can save it on you system

Its handy and you can decide what part of screen capture you want to do.

Access

The free version is available on website that gives you minimal options, with screencast bookmark, for more option we have to buy pro version for $15/yr

Features for free and pro users.

Sample Usage

The steps to record your screen

My trial version of screencast-o-matic : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwrPYCPJXgo&feature=youtu.be

What the Tool Does Well

Easy to use, and not additional files required to use this, just downloading basic file is enough

Saves video instantly and no system requirements

Works with both mac and pc

You can find enough tutorials on their website to start with basic or pro versions

It gives you 15 mins window for recording video, which is fair enough

What it Does Poorly

We have to get pro for additional features, also we cannot test the feature before hand

Voice recording in free version does not work well

Limited number of formats in which you can save a file

You can just record video in basic version, for editing the video either you have to buy a pro or use some other software
