- (2024-09-18) Jared Newnam: I purchased the pro license ($24/year) back in 2019. I loved this application. There wasn't a whole lot of work involved in getting a video started. The huge downside is now I am paying a lot more for this app and I was there from the beginning. Those of us that stuck with the company from the start should be grandfathered into the original price. Regarding the latest update... videos get dropped. The record icon in the toolbar always seems to have the red dot, even when I'm not recording. If I am recording the entire screen and I bring another app onto the same screen I'm recording, Screencastify stops recording. I have been using this software for many years for my students and now I'm looking for something new. I don't know if it's under new ownership, but the quality and ease of use have gone way down. I now look forward to no longer paying the yearly subscription.
- (2024-09-04) kafalarına göre parayla aldığınız üyeliği ücretsiz sürüme çevirecekler. Gerekçeleri de yapacak bir şey yok Google Chrome eklentileri yakında bizi desteklemeyecek vs. bu sizin sorununuz en fazla sizden üyelik alanlara harici paket yükleme seçeneği ile eklenti desteğine devam edebilirsiniz. neymiş 139 dolar olacakmış da yıllık üyelik, üyeliği olanlara 39 dolar olacakmış ilk sene.. demek ki çözümünüz var. O halde neden Pro Versiyon alanları ücretsiz sürüme geçiriyorsunuz? İş ahlakı nerede? insanlara parayla üyelik satıyorsunuz sonra diyorsunuz ki 16 eylülde ücretsiz sürüme düşürüleceksiniz o zaman insanların paralarını geri verin! siz dolandırıcı mısınız? ve hangi hakla sizi ücretsiz sürüme düşüreceğiz, isterseniz 39 dolara bir yıllık plan alabilirsiniz diyorsunuz! yıllar önce lifetime lisans almıştım ne hakla beni free kullanıcıya düşürürsünüz!

- (2023-12-01) Lucy Brenton: Screencastify is the best recording software I've ever used... and I've tried at least a dozen. One of my favorite features is recording just the tab I'm in... then if I have to look at something in another tab it's not recorded. It allows me to listen in to the tab that's being recorded while I work on something else. Super easy to use, very intuitive. Definitely worth the money!

- (2023-09-20) Rashad Richardson: TRASH. Terrible navigation and not a realistic design. Not user friendly at all. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- (2023-09-14) Michelle Jensen: I work as a tech coach in several schools. I love screencastify! It is a great tool for teachers to make instructional videos and offer student feedback. It is also a powerful way to support troubleshooting as teachers ask tech support questions through video and I respond in the same way!
- (2023-09-13) Kathleen Receveur: First and foremost, I must commend the Screencastify team and Shaun Conway for their remarkable customer support. Whenever I encountered an issue or had a question, their response rate was astonishingly quick. It's evident that they prioritize customer satisfaction, and this level of attentiveness is truly appreciated. One of the standout features of Screencastify is the wealth of informational training resources they provide. These resources are a treasure trove for educators looking to harness the full potential of this extension. The step-by-step tutorials, webinars, and documentation are not only comprehensive but also user-friendly. The true beauty of Screencastify lies in its simplicity and ease of use. As an educator, I appreciate how intuitive the app is for our teachers and administrators. Our Superintendent uses this tool for his weekly message to principals! Creating screen recordings, video lessons, and tutorials has never been easier. The ability to capture not only my screen but also myself via the webcam is a game-changer for maintaining student engagement. As a district Technology specialist supporting school administration and educators, this tool is a must. Our Screencastify contact, Shaun Conway has been remrkable to work with . I wholeheartedly recommend Screencastify to any educator looking to enhance their teaching and connect with their students in a meaningful way. It's truly a five-star tool!

- (2023-09-12) noah king: Screencastify is the best screen recording software I've ever used. It has a simple interface with tons of features. As a teacher, I love how easy it is to make a screencast to share with students or colleagues. I also love the Submit feature, which allows other people to record their own screen and send me the video with one click, even if they don't have Screencastify themselves. There are tons of export options, too. such as automatically publishing my videos to YouTube or exporting them as animated GIFs or mp3s.
- (2023-09-12) Miranda Felton: Screencastify has everything I need in a screen recorder and more! I am a teacher, and started using the free version to record screencasts for my students. I then had students create their own screencasts using the extension on their Chromebooks, and it was a game changer to promote more in-depth learning, language practice, and more. My school district now pays for the premium license, and I can't say enough about the embedded video editor with the blur tool. There is also an awesome classroom feature that allows my students to easily create and submit video-based assignments. Super user-friendly- my second graders used it no problem- and so should you!
- (2023-09-08) venom joy: this is good for my youtube videos because i dont have to worry about recording for to long
- (2023-09-08) 張哲郡: 值得付費使用。
- (2023-09-07) jkmallen: Screencastify's has improved a ton over the years. Love being able to create and edit right from a Chromebook. Submit is definitely and underutilized feature in education.
- (2023-09-07) Chad Alford: I have been using Screencastify for a few years and it was always reliable and easy to navigate. But as of the latest update where they claimed to have "rebuilt it from the ground up", it is now almost unusuable. When I end a recording my page disappears until I reload the web page. The recordings are now unnamed, the settings/options buttons have disappeared and all in all it is pretty much useless for me. Did you even test these changes before you released the update? Update - I am very please to say Screencastify is now fixed and running better than ever. Thankyou so much. I have updated my review back to 5 stars.
- (2023-08-29) rem: i use this program for school, but when i try to setup my microphone access it doesnt work. can someone help me?
- (2023-08-22) Layne: it said failed to load videos i have tried 30 times to recover them and nothing works unless you fix the issue im not changing my review and will never use it till then
- (2023-08-10) Lolo Ivan: mt
- (2023-08-05) Ahmad Hussein Habib: Screencastify is an exceptional product and has provided me with an extraordinary support to my word in recording task requirement so as to deliver best solutions. I recommend this product to the world ✅✨✨✨
- (2023-07-31) Its amazing but i cant figure out how to put it to youtube can u pls help
- (2023-07-25) Thomas Jones: The only app I pay for. Its easy to use and figure out.
- (2023-07-24) Jeremy Wright: All I get is a spinning wheel when trying to use the extension.
- (2023-07-24) Haniyyah Green: Perfect! Only problem is that I need the audio on the tab to play and it won't, I don't know if it's a setting I can't find or something (I enabled system audio and it still didn't work)
- (2023-07-23) Gareth Rossi: Sign in required.
- (2023-07-20) Ana Gonzalez Oropeza: Very user friendly. BUT when I recorded an important meeting, the audio quality changed from normal to somewhat poor.
- (2023-07-10) Krishna Kanth M: IT IS VALUABLE AND GGOOD QUALITY ALTHOUGH IT IS EXPENSIVE
- (2023-07-09) Cody: since the extension rolled back the changes back to old version I'm giving this 5 stars again :)
- (2023-07-06) Edu Always Run: so nao sei como funciona, por onde começo?
- (2023-07-04) Potato boy: I liked its smoother then other app I pay for then I unstailed it found its very good! :)
- (2023-07-03) Guiljermes: A ferramenta é boa, mas esse negocio de pagar é horrível, muita ganância
- (2023-06-29) Stephanie Reese: I've used Screencastify for some presentations during COVID and some other courses that I was taking. It was good for short videos but there is a limit and after that you have to pay for more "storage". If you don't have a lot of videos to record or long recordings then it is great to use. I have found it useful for my students by recording how to access some programs or materials and then posting it on the Google Classroom.
- (2023-06-28) Asher Nichols: Descript lied about being free, so I couldn't use it anymore, then I found this. This is much easer to use and can do more, plus it's not laggy when used with google tabs. It's even smoother than youtube!
- (2023-06-25) Le Minh Tri: Today, My dear Screencastify is back. Now, we even have 30 minutes of free recording, which open ways for much greater possibilities. With Drive upload, 30-minute recording limit for free, I guess no competitor out there can be compared with!! Teachers can benefit greatly from Screencastify Submit. Thank you my Screencsaity folks for listening to us and thanks for your great efforts to help Screen recording a joy. .
- (2023-06-22) Briegh Nish: I use to sing it praises..... I loved this extension- I found it during teaching online with Covid and it was amazing, so much so I have continued to use it and pay for it since. Until.... now. It has just updated its interface and it is god damn terrible and completely NOT user friendly. There is no point have a modern interface, if it so émpty' you can't find the controls. I know they were updated their subscriptions- but I paid it and wasn't aware that I would be LOSING any features. I will be looking for a new program and I am absolutely gutted. I want the old version back! EDIT- I have gone ahead and continue to struggle to use it. Its worse than I thought! When you stopped recording, a new tab would open while the video saved. You could quickly change the title, download, trim it etc. All very quickly and easily. Not only has auto stop disappeared. There is 3 or 4 windows that open and its takes x4 longer to do those simple functions. Its possibly now the WORST program on the internet. WHY DID THEY DO THIS???!!!!! Who thought this was a better functioning version? BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!
- (2023-06-15) MEME LORD: THIS NEW UPDATE IS SO BAD IT ISN'T LIKE WHAT IT USE TO BE IT'S MORE COMPLICATED AND IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY PLUS THE NEW COLOR PLATTE LOOKS UGLY PLEASE REVERT IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL
- (2023-06-14) Gage Kent: Unfortunately I concur with all of the recent reviews. Whatever changes they made ruined everything. Recording is now clunky and inconsistent. Half of the time I am recording, the option to "STOP" the recording goes invisible and I have to force the recording to stop by refreshing the page and clicking on the extension again. Half of the time my recordings do not sync with my google drive, which gets annoying because I have to download videos or even delete videos more than once. The only reason this is not getting 1 star out of 5 stars is the ability to download your recordings with the free version.
- (2023-06-12) Sandytoast: terrible, so slow they dont deserve to ask 1 penny to use this service, rather they should pay me to use this is a last resort backup plan because of how simply terrible it is
- (2023-06-12) Phil Gilmore: Can't remove the toolbar from the screen while recording, which makes them unsuitable. Furthermore none of the advertised shortcuts actually do anything at all, literally nothing.
- (2023-06-11) Pavan Kushvaha: Never ever give the full access of your google drive, During sign in, It is asking for full access. guys go to your google account and remove the access control for this as soon as possible.
- (2023-06-10) Miguel Torres: Used to be GREAT! Highly customizable where I can choose quality or file size as a priority, would be great playing back and could save locally OR cloud. Now with the latest update? It's TRASH! No options... AT ALL! Like literally, everything is gone for customizing recordings, so everything comes out MASSIVE in file size, and plays back super choppy. NO LOCAL SAVES ANYMORE! Their support rep told me this feature is gone and won't be back, so looks like I will do the same! Don't bother wasting time on this. Use Nimbus, maybe I'll try Screen-cast-o-matic again (that updated too and got worse) or just use the BUILT-IN SCREEN RECORDER ON CHROMEOS! At least through 13+ OS changes that only improved, rather than getting worse. AVOID THIS TRASH!
- (2023-06-07) Koushik Seal: It keeps loading and loading, never stops, even if I remove it from chrome or sign out, it never stops loading
- (2023-06-07) Andrew MASON: Loved Screencastify, made over 2000 videos for my students over the last couple of years downloading straight to my youtube channel. Sadly, the "Export to Youtube" button seems to have disappeared, so I will now need to find a different way of making recordings.
- (2023-06-06) mike soto: I don't know what they did, but it is all kinds of screwed up now. Hell the controls don't even show up anymore, they just disappear after you start. Then you have to basically reload the app which lets you reupload the vid you just recorded and THEN you can start editing. The app is just a total mess now. I don't know who approved these changes, but seriously you guys need to just roll back and leave well enough alone. The app was perfect before and did everything you needed, this update just completely screwed it up.
- (2023-06-06) Letícia Michalczyk: I cannot open my recordings and it shows I have no videos saved, but I did record for more than 1 hour! These videos are important. My Google Drive files are empty. Help!
