Screencastify is a Chrome extension that allows you to quickly and easily record a video of your computer screen and voice. Videos are automatically saved to your drive and/or uploaded to your YouTube channel!
*With the free version, your videos are limited to 5 minutes in length*
Upgrade to premium access for free (for a limited time):
To activate Screencastify Unlimited access, follow these instructions:
Visit this page and click "Redeem coupon" (under the Next Billing Date)
Enter code CAST_COVID
Click "Activate License" (no credit card required). Ignore the Next Billing Date - that will be incorrect
Here's a quick video that demonstrates these steps.
Google Drive could have issues processing many videos at once.
If you save to Google Drive, your screencastify video will eventually be available, but it could take longer than expected.
A better option might be to upload to YouTube!
Another quirk: You might have to open an incognito window (ctrl+shift+N) to preview your YouTube video.
