• (2025-06-26) I had bought a "lifetime" subscription of this extension. Just guess what! They just cancelled it! And as I dared to have more than 10 recordings (with a paid product), I'm no longer able to record anything! So, imagine they dare to ask me to pay again, after I had paid expensively a "lifetime" license! I strongly recommend to avoid this tool and this company. As info: Windows has an onboard screen recording for free! "win+alt+R"
• (2025-06-20) Before you buy this, here is the reason I will never use this app again. Ive been using this for the last few years, always been good. Easy to record, easy share with people, for the amount of time i use it, which is minimal, it does the job. But now, they have done a Netflix and amazon number on the app, whereby you start paying for a service and then they remove features that were included with your original signup. The biggest and the only reason I got this paid version was to share my videos with people. NOW, it only allows you to share within your own domain, so you cant share it with people outside your network. Truly a dog move, and for that reason, they wont see another penny from me. If you are a loyal dog like me and you been given a bone, now they take it away, you will do the same.
• (2025-05-27) This tool has added creativtyfrom engaging my students to including the families. Its a way to share my teaching knowledge with my parents!!! Easy to use tool. Possibilities are endless!!!!
• (2025-05-14) Terrible! It dosen't work!
• (2025-05-12) Behind a paywall, and it didn't even record audio :\ Not recommended.
• (2025-04-27) I am a High School and Adjunct professor. I do not have a lot of time to create videos and edit them for my students. It is so easy to create videos. Looking foward to using the video quiz option. So far I love using this product.
• (2025-04-17) i would've liked to know that i was gonna be forced to create an account on god knows what site to use this extension... no, i don't want to see what other people are recording on their screens and i most definitely don't want them to see my recordings. record, crop, save on desktop, done, was that too much to ask?
• (2025-04-09) I'm a small content creator who just started and this is helping me really well but it sucks how you gotta pay after 10 vids GO SUB TO @DavidAndJake
• (2025-04-07) sigma app ong
• (2025-04-05) Can't even download or share my video for my assignment.
• (2025-04-04) Not bad but I don't like that I have to pay after recording 10 videos. I didn't pay since I can't afford it now (Despite being 18). I first installed this extension when I was 17 back in 2024 and even I couldn't afford paying for it either.
• (2025-04-04) This is an invaluable app for teachers! I use it constantly to enhance my professional learning with video explanations. These videos are a fantastic resource for absent students, struggling readers, and anyone who benefits from an auditory overview before starting work.
• (2025-04-03) OMG, very dysponend of what this extension become... Totally useless features and overpriced cloud for someone who just wanted to record something for a while.
• (2025-04-02) i love this I want this
• (2025-03-31) This application used to be my go to for recording but over the last couple of years they have lost their way and ventured into the editing side which I don't need and have no desire to use. I have my own non linear editor for that. Over all the program still works and does what I need it to but I could easily use a different application for what I do. The only reason I stick with this is because I have paid for it.
• (2025-03-31) angry that you block me from the app until I do this review. I was working and trying to get my work done, but no, I am UNABLE to continue because I can do nothing until I do this stupid review. It would have been much more positive had it been optional and not an intrusion on my work. I have just scrolled down these reviews and you claim that you have gotten rid of this on March 20. It is March 31 and you HAVE NOT.
• (2025-03-29) Records well.
• (2025-03-28) The Chrome Extension is very buggy lately. I am using a paid subscription to Screencastify and count on it to work because I used it very frequently for my job. However, I've had to resort to other screen recorders because Screencastify's Chrome Extension has been very unreliable lately. It will drop mid-recording or glitch altogether. I am constantly having to uninstall and reinstall the extension in hopes that it will work. Please fix whatever this bug is! I love Screencastify and will always go to it as my #1, but it has caused me to lose a lot of time with my work projects due to the glitches.
• (2025-03-27) Always changing and getting new bugs, one day sound stops working and next day videos go private but I didnt touch anything. Should be called Screen Bugify
• (2025-03-26) Force us to login WO trying it
• (2025-03-24) I'm sorry, this is one of the most disgusting experiences I've had. Im ready to put my face through the computer screen to try and find the minimized tray that allows me to do what, IDK. This freemium software is junk. Period. I legit hate this, and how it makes me feel so bad that I can't help but post this publicly. I dont have anywhere near enough time to browse the help libraries wherever they are, to try and find a solution to my issue.
• (2025-03-23) Excellent secondary school online learning and in person supplemental tool. I use it to prepare make up lessons and presentations that I know I will need to repeat. Love it!
• (2025-03-21) Great
• (2025-03-21) Forcing me to leave a review to get out of the tool. Super annoying.
• (2025-03-20) Easy to use tool.
• (2025-03-20) This is a indispensable app for me and my clients. i use it every day. I'm a web dev and showing people what I see is very very needed. This has always worked super!!!
• (2025-03-19) This is an amazing app for teachers. I use it all the time. Whenever I create a new assignment, if I have time, I create a new video. This helps for kids who miss class, who have trouble reading, or those who just want to listen to a quick summary of the assignment before they get started. Now I have so many videos I find it challenging to keep them organized.
• (2025-03-19) I am able to record lessons for my students in order to keep absent students up to date and allow my advanced students to move at a faster pace if they choose.
• (2025-03-19) It has been a great tool for us.
• (2025-03-18) I am a paid subscriber. I use remote freelancers to do work. This program is essential for me to record a training video for them on the steps to complete their tasks. There are other screen recorders out there, but this one is super easy to use and automatically saves the videos into Google Drive. The person receiving the Google link to the video can view it without downloading it. So I don't fill up computer storage with instructional videos intended for one-time use, and neither does the employee. I took off a star because the editing is a bit slow (it's all online editing after all, not native to your computer, which explains the slowness) and it doesn't have the ability for me to speed up the final instructional video just a tad, so that it's not quite so boring for my employees to watch.
• (2025-03-18) i get my gaming vids out quicker
• (2025-03-18) I own a staffing company and it's so easy to create little training videos. Or when you're working with tech support it's a LOT easier to show them the problem. I have also used it to record my sons streaming lacrosse games!
• (2025-03-15) Very user-friendly. I record my lectures/direct teach and then post it for my students. This helps a lot in ensuring that students do not miss any of the instructions, especially, if they are out for extra-curricular activities.
• (2025-03-13) I find it very easy to use Screencastify to record and edit my teaching videos. I have not explored all the features but so far I am very happy with the product.
• (2025-03-13) Easy to use and very helpful when showing my staff how to do things.
• (2025-03-13) I use Screencastify regularly in my position as an instructional tech integration specialist. Quality is reliable, editing is simple, and sharing is a breeze! Screencastify support is top notch, and new features are perfect for all areas of the education world and beyond. Highly recommend!
• (2025-03-11) Love Screencastify. I made all of my lessons for high school using this program during the pandemic. I love the SUBMIT feature, too and Screencastify programmers and designers are always making upgrades that are beneficial to education. The only thing I'd change is having more than a handful of videos for free... but beggars and choosers, right? Thanks Screencastify!
• (2025-03-07) this require signup. i instantly un-installed it.
• (2025-02-20) We had to utilized virtual days for school due to inclement weather. I used Screencastify to record the annotation portion of our lesson to help guide my students through the process.
• (2025-02-19) Why is your app showing up on every webpage all of a sudden? Uninstalling.
• (2025-02-19) Not happy about the permanent overlay icon. I'll be removing this extension until that is fixed.
• (2025-02-19) There is no reason for the icon to be popping up when I am not using it. If I could delete it, I would. This is completely unnecessary.
• (2025-02-19) The permanent overlay/icon showing up on each tab is highly irritating and intrusive. It's very distracting and not worth the app. I would much rather use Scribe any day. If it weren't managed by my organization, I would immediately delete it because of that permanent overlay/icon.
• (2025-02-19) Now shows a permanent overlay on each site. And you need an account .
• (2025-02-19) Need registration \ login But why do I need that?
• (2025-02-17) Used to help me remember key steps to different program for future references
• (2025-02-12) very bad,not user fendly
• (2025-02-11) I use Screencastify whenever I need to show my students something outside of school time. I have made videos to help them practice recorder pieces, solve equations, and more. It's helpful that they can hear my voice, see my face, and see my screen as I show them what they need to know. I find it super easy to use.
• (2025-02-08) I like how we can edit in every video we make
• (2025-02-07) Screenastify is intuitive and professional and my go-to tool for screencasting and video editing. I use it every day!
