Here’s how a screencast works

A screen recorder has an easy structure and isn’t nearly as complicated as complex video editing software. That’s why software like this is also suitable for inexperienced users and can be operated without a long familiarization period. You essentially only set a few items from the menu and can easily start recording only a few moments later.

You can either record the entire screen content or only a certain part of the screen. You can choose between different resolutions or determine the recording area manually. The recording can be started and stopped with the touch of a button. You can then save the video in a suitable format, edit it using different programs, and watch it on different devices.

• to present different software characteristics
• to document errors in programs
• to explain the operation or creation of a website
