Screen Recording Software/Sites

• ScreenToaster Offers Editing Option •

ScreenToaster is the easiest way to rapidly create and share tutorials, demos, training and more.

ScreenToaster is a free web-based screen recorder designed to capture your screen activity, audio and webcam images in real-time then publish and share your video in blogs and websites.

Unlike others, ScreenToaster works in all browsers and doesn’t require any download so that you can use it anywhere, anytime.

Our high-quality screencasts can be streamed on the Internet in a Flash player, on any Windows, Mac OS or Linux platform.

• Record Your Full Desktop with Screenjelly •

Screenjelly records your screen activity with your voice so you can spread it via Twitter or email.  Use it to quickly share cool apps or software tips, report a bug, or just show stuff you like.  To start recording, click on the red button. No need to install or download anything!

Screenjelly does not require any software download or install. It is 100% browser-based and relies on Java to record your screen activity.  That’s why there’s no faster, easier way to share what’s happening on your screen right now. Just press the red button and start recording within seconds. It’s that simple.

Screenjelly is designed to quickly share bite-sized visual information, not to create a full tutorial. Limiting the recording to three minutes is the best way to ensure that your message is compelling and to the point and more importantly within your viewer’s attention span (which may be even lower).

• Create a Screencast with One Click using ScreenCastle •

ScreenCastle dedicates its site to facilitate screen recording. It’s so easy to start using the recorder right from the homepage. There’s no nonsense that nags you to sign up. Click on the big, orange Power button to load a recorder size applet, which will sport a thumbnail of the webpage you were last on.

If ScreenCastle isn’t part of what you want to record, go to the actual tab you’ll record and hit Refresh on the applet. This way, you’ll get a sense of how your screencast might turn out. To resize the recorder, either type the desired dimensions on the applet or drag the resizers.

You can also choose whether you want to record your microphone. After that, you’ll be able to load the recorder and let your imagination run wild! When you’re done, you can preview your screencast or publish it to ScreenCastle’s site, where you’ll get the direct link in to the file in FLV format (to download, plug this link in your browser address bar or download manager), embed codes, and even thumbnail images of your screencast. There’s currently no limitations of screencast duration, size, or even number of recordings, but videos published on the site that are not viewed for a year may be deleted.

• Screencast-O-Matic •

Screencast-O-Matic is the original free and easy way to make a video recording of your screen (aka screencast) and upload it for free hosting all from your browser with no install!

Screencast-O-Matic uses a Java applet to record your screen.  This means that your computer must have Java, however few computers do not.  It is also web-based, so if you don’t have an internet connection, you cannot record your screen.

Screencast-O-Matic also has a Pro Version.  This version allows you to edit your recordings, and it also allows a 1-hour recording time.  The free version only allows 15-minute recording time.  The pro version is only $5.  This is very well worth spending $5.
