What Screencastify is can be summarized in a few words: an easy screen recording

tool. But what it can do is far more wide spanning and impressive. 

Screencastify is a powerful app that allow teachers to capture important moments

online that can help save time and enhance learning in the long run. Since
Screencastify is an extension it's easy to install, use, and run across most devices.

Screencastify lets you record video from your device to playback later and share.
You can even edit the video to perfect it before you put it to good use. That means
being able to give a presentation across multiple websites, with highlights on the
screen and your face in the corner via webcam, to name just one option.

Of course this can also be used by students, so it can make for another tool in the
teacher toolbox that enables students to expand their digital abilities. A great way
to add in more media to projects, for example.

What is Screencastify?
We have already answered what Screencastify is on a basic level. But to provide
more clarity – it is an extension that works using Google and, specifically, Chrome.
That means it can, technically, record a video of anything going on within a Chrome
browser window.

But it does more. You can also use Screencastify to record your desktop, so
recording something such as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation is an option.

Yup, there's more. This platform will also allow you to record from a webcam. Thus,
whatever you're doing on camera can be captured, showing your face in a small
cut-out window as you talk through what's happening on screen.
