Screencast – browser-based tools
I needed a tool that could capture screencasts (video of screen activity) with audio, so that I can create training videos, without installing any software on my computer. I found a few options that can record screencasts from a web browser (java required). Here are the two that I liked best:
Screecast-o-Matic. All sizes and formats (including HD). Drag a black frame to anywhere on your screen and record anything. You can upload to YouTube, or download to your desktop. Exports in .avi, .mp4, .flv. Simply great.
ScreenJelly. Captures the whole screen. Requires you to log in with your Twitter ID (OAuth). Can share on Twitter, Facebook, or send a link to the screencast in an email. Screencasts are hosted with Screenjelly.
They’re both free.
