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.
