What is it?

Screencastify is an ultra simple screen recorder that will supercharge the way you communicate at work. Record, edit and share HD videos in seconds. (source)

Why would I use it?

To share ideas, deliver content

To describe a step-by-step process, explain a particular concept, or present a Google Slide/PowerPoint(or anything for that matter) presentation with narration and multimedia elements.

First, you will want to sign up for the free (for now) pro edition.

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.
