To try out the new Screencast app you will need a Chromebook that is running version 103 or higher of ChromeOS. This new app is built upon the native screencasting features for Chromebooks that were introduced about a year ago, with a few impressive improvements. Screencast for Chromebook is a unique recording tool when you compare it to other screen recording apps like Screencastify and Loom. The video will also show you how you can edit transcripts before sharing, and where to find Screencasts in your Google Drive.Google is introducing the Screencast app, an exclusive tool for creating screen recordings on ChromeOS. This video will explain everything I’ve mentioned in this article. I’ve created a video that is available near the top of this post. If you want to take a look at how Screencast works. This means you’ll always have an original copy of the recording. Therefore, it will not cut out sections that you may have done before sharing your video. This video contains the whole video as it was recorded. This includes the thumbnail for the Screencast, the video itself and a text file containing the transcript. Once you’ve shared a video three separate files are saved to your Google drive. Your Screencast is saved to your Google Drive This also means, at present, Screencast can only be viewed on Chrome OS devices. Therefore, for someone to watch the screencast they would need to have it set up on their Chrome OS computer. The video is shared directly from Screencast.
You’ll then be provided with a link that you can email to people or paste into a message group. This is done by simply hitting the share button. Once you’ve finished recording your Screencast and removed sections that are not needed.
For example, if you need to stop to look at some information whilst filming.
This allows you to skip part of the video if it doesn’t need to be shared. You can do this before sharing the video. The transcript provides another great feature, which is the ability to cut out sections of the recording. This is an excellent feature, which makes your Screencasts more accessible. This means when you share videos with others they can either listen to the recorded voice or read the transcript.
This is broken down into sections, and it will create separate sections where there is no transcript. When you talk during your video a transcript is automatically created. One of the best features of Screencast is that it creates a transcript for your video. This will be beneficial if you need to ensure an important step isn’t missed or to highlight data if it’s difficult to easily spot when watching the video.Ī really important function because it’s not always easy to know where someone may be referring to when watching videos. One of the great features of Screencast is the ability to highlight important data. It’s most likely at the moment this is only available in certain languages. When you talk during your video a transcript is also created. I would imagine the reason why it only works with a select language at present is due to the transcript. Once you’ve changed your language settings and restarted your Chromebook you should have the option to create a new Screencast. Therefore, I had to change the language in my Chrome OS settings to English (United States). Then you can fix this by changing your language settings.Īt the time of writing this article, I was unable to create a new Screencast in English (UK). If this is greyed out or you’re getting a ‘loading’ message. When you open the Screencast app you should see a blue button at the top left ‘New Screencast’.
