The simplest way to capture, edit, and share videos with anyone - right from your browser. No complicated downloads, no learning curve.
Top features of our screen recorder
Edit videos like a pro
Once your video is recorded, or you upload your own existing video, you can polish it up right in your browser - no exporting or switching between apps. Trim the start and end, cut out mistakes, zoom in on important details, blur sensitive info, and add text or titles to guide your viewer. All the essential tools are built in and easy to use, so you can create clean, clear videos in minutes.
Share videos instantly
As soon as you finish recording, Screencastify generates a shareable link you can send by email, post in a chat, or drop into a document. No need to download or upload anything - your video is hosted automatically and ready to go. You can also choose who gets access with privacy settings or add your video to Google Drive in one click. It’s the fastest way to get your message out.
Create videos in a few clicks
Recording a video with Screencastify is as easy as clicking a button. You can capture your entire screen, a single tab, or just your webcam. Add your voice as you go, and use your webcam for a personal touch. There’s no setup, no complicated tools to learn, and no bulky software to install. It’s perfect for quick demos, walkthroughs, or just getting your point across clearly and visually.
Reach everyone - no matter the language
Make your videos more accessible and easier to understand for any audience. We automatically add captions and transcripts so everyone can follow along. You can translate those captions into multiple languages, or even use AI-generated voiceovers to speak your message in another language. It’s all built to help your videos connect across teams, time zones, and learning styles.
