Didactic Radiology instructor Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good but can be better" October 23, 2024 4.0 I have only done a few things, but it is user-friendly for the most part. Pros I like that you can record and even add to your recording questions. Cons I would like to be able to save a recording and then go back and add to that one rather than splice other recordings together. As an instructor, it is essential to be able to stop at a point and then be able to get right back into the same recording. Maybe I am missing something... Alternatives considered [thinklink](https://www.capterra.com/p/92850/thinklink/) Reason for choosing ScreenPal The ability to embed questions within my lecture is easier.

Mi sarebbe tanto piaciuto ma non è stato possibile perché non funzionava Cons Sono una "vecchia utente" screencast omatic, col passaggio a screenpal (e un abbonamento di due anni pagato) il programma non ha mai funzionato: si bloccava dopo pochissimo. Ho contattato l'assistenza più volte, abbiamo più volte seguito le procedure specifiche. Ho un MacBook pienamente compatibile col software. Ritengo di aver buttato i soldi e di non aver avuto né una assistenza adeguata né un servizio utile. Review Source Response from ScreenPal July 1, 2024 Hi Chiara!

Pros Screenpal is a good concept a screen recorder that either lets you upload to a cloud based hosting area or download the video onto your computer. Apart from the issue mentioned below it has been reliable during the years that I have been using it. Cons When using it sometimes it wont start on the window that I want to record (Chrome) so I have to start it recording and the bring up the Chrome window then stop it recording then use the start over again function and then that way the start of the screen recording is on the Chrome window.

Easy to use and so many tools and options, I recommend it to everyone! Pros Intuitive, easy to use and has a free version available. Cons Can’t really say I’ve run into something I didn’t like! Review Source Eugene M. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ScreenPal: A Simple Solution to Your Complex Challenge!" April 17, 2024 5.0 Much like when it was ScreenCast-O-Matic, ScreenPal is easy to use, reliable, and has enough versatility to keep me fro switching anytime soon! Pros Ease of use AND reliability are the top two things I like most about ScreenPal over other similar products. Cons The annual subscription seems to continue to rise and I have yet to see a break for educators or those who also use it for teaching classes and courses. Review Source MD Mill D. Program Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ScreenPal is my Go To Tool " February 28, 2024 5.0 A+ experience with ScreenPal. I have recommended it to others and at least 2 people have purchased it from my recommendations and still use it. I LOVE ScreenPal. When I started using the price point was insanely low so it was a no-brainer to subscribe for several years in advance because this tool was just so awesome!!! Pros I used ScreenPal when it was Screencast-O-Matic. I learned about it from Youtubers that said making their videos was inexpensive and easy. I've been using it for a long time. I truly enjoy the ease of video editing, screen recording and link sharing. Those are my favorite features. Now that I know about the audio recording features, I will definitely be using those. The simple pricing and low cost for such an easy-to-use, robust tool of this caliber couldn't be passed up. Cons One of my biggest cons would pertain to layering of edits made during video editing. For example, if I've cut one part, then overlay text next, then inserted a video, etc. I'm not able to just remove that first cut and keep the rest of the edits that I made subsequently after that. Now granted, I'm not a professional video editor, so I'm not sure if that's something you can do anyway, however that's the biggest con. I have to essentially start everything over if I mess up an edit later down the line. Perhaps you all have some training on how to do this and I'm just not aware, but that's the only issue I would say.

Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My GOTO screen recorder" January 12, 2022 5.0 I'm delighted with SOM. I've been using it since V1 to share tutorials with my team, record webinars, VSLs, online trainings and group meetings. Pros Screencast-O-Matic is like the powerpoint for video/screenshots. You can quickly and easily record your screen and/or your webcam... or make screenshots (without having the app crashing on you in the middle of it). Then edit what you need with their embedded editor. (I like that the mic signal is cleaned automatically within the editor to remove undesirable noises.) One more click and your final output is shared online within their included cloud service. If you chose to save the video to your computer, you won't need to re-compress it with handbrake to save space as it's already producing decently sized files (3 compression levels available). You can even configure it to save your work files in the cloud so that you can come back later to them from anywhere and continue where you left (or just cancel as many actions as you wish - all your history is saved along with your final output). I also like the fact that it comes with royalty free music we can use within our videos in a few clicks. I'm happy to pay monthly. The price is ridiculous and it's an awesome product that keeps being updated. Cons To my regret, they removed in V2 the "automatic documentation" feature which was available in V1. There is now the possibility to import an external video and edit it within the tool; unfortunately, some MP4 codecs have playback issues. That's about it for the cons. Switched from [Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/) Camstudio : It kept crashing and the final output needed to be edited and/or re-compressed with another tool. Camtasia : It kept crashing too back then and it was adding a heavy load to the computer when recording. Review Source CB Cara B.

We use this tool daily for videos, tutorials, and screenshots. The customer support team was outstanding in resolving my concerns about Stories. They were patient, straight to the point, efficient, and resourceful! Thanks for thinking out of the box and taking time to listen to my concern and find me a solution! Cons The only difficulty I have had is with duplicating 'Story' videos...which i would like to include the script, individual videos, and edits. Review Source Tom C. Owner Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Screen Pal is my best tool" February 29, 2024 5.0 Great as I have been trying to learn some of the high dollar apps for editing and creating videos they are just so deep for a new user this is the very best .. Pros Just plain easy to use even and old fart like myself can figure it out Cons Have not found anything bad and there are still tools I have not yet tested Review Source CJ Cindy J. Content Creator Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Screen Pal is an excellent choice for AI podcast/video creators." April 17, 2024 5.0 I've been with Screencast-o-matic/Screen Pal for several years now. You cannot beat it for content creation on a budget. Overall, I love the quality my video/podcasts have compared to similar content creating software. Pros Screen Pal is easy to use, offers music, and had drag and drop options for content creating. Once my AI generated book chapter is recorded I can create a video/podcast in about five minutes using Screen Pal. Cons Well I don't like change and when Screencast-o-matic switched over to Screen Pal I had to relearn how to use it. But in the end its twice as fast to drop and drag all my content into the story board. I'd also love more music selection specifically for podcast creators. But overall I still love the music feature as it adds so much. Review Source Benn H. Senior Information Technology Business Analyst Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Capture and record your screen in a fast way" June 11, 2022 5.0 This app is useful for people who study or who work constantly on a PC, with screencast I can sort all the screenshots and save it in the cloud, this way it is not saved on my hard drive, and it is more orderly to find them, it also has the option to share them on the main social networks such as Facebook and Instagram. Screen o matic is a lightweight software and its interface is intuitive, it has a basic menu and is not loaded with many options that can confuse you. Pros it is excellent for making videos tutorial, I like that I can capture images of my screen and record everything I am doing, this is useful when you want to show someone on your team a procedure, it saves you time explaining over and over again, with screencast o matic you record them and share them with a link. I like how easy is to edit the videos created with its desktop version, in addition to video I use it to make screenshots, it is one of the few apps that I have tried that works for both PC, Android and iPhone, it is quite practical since in addition to doing screenshots I can edit the images, crop, or add text to them. Cons So far it has worked fine, and I have nothing against it. Review Source AS Alyssa S. Mentor Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "CHANGED MY LIFE" March 29, 2024 5.0 Pros ScreenPal offers a variety of tools that simplify my tasks. Without ScreenPal, I'd have to download numerous tools on my computer and struggle to find what I need. It's fast, easy to use, and I highly recommend it! Cons There are honestly no cons in my personal opinion. Review Source KM Kris M. SMM Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly intuitive and easy to use screen recording platform. " January 14, 2023 5.0 The platform is incredibly easy to use, very intuitive, and ideal for novices as well as those who are more familiar with screen recorders. Pros The price to upgrade and use the system's full array of features is quite modest and definitely worth it as the platform is incredibly easy to use. Cons The platform does not offer an option for a one-off payment for lifetime use of the product. Instead, if a user wants to benefit from the more advanced features that go beyond the free package, they will need to be an annual subscription.

Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Price has gone up nearly 500% Ridiculous " September 15, 2023 3.0 Since screenpal have taken over it has been hit-and-miss. When it works it is fine. I use it to review work and mostly screen recording. The thing that really has annoyed me is the price increase of nearly 500% I have been using the app for years but I wont pay 500% more per year for it. Pros It is simple and easy to use and the editing is fast and intuitive.The instant link function is great Cons The new app keeps crashing and locking up, losing the work I have just done. The app won't minimise half the time. Review Source Response from ScreenPal September 20, 2023 Hi Lloyd, thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Has all of the essential screen capture/editing features but super easy to use" March 18, 2021 5.0 Pros Screen-Cast-O-Matic is the easiest screen capture software I've used, and in 20 years as a corporate trainer I've used a lot of them. Capturing the screen is very similar to other software of this type. It's the editing features that make the big difference. I'm able to easily cut, blur, highlight, zoom in, etc. in just seconds. No other screen capture software that I've used is this easy. I also like the video picture in picture feature. Cons The only issue I've had with this software is when I got a new computer with a high resolution monitor. The software isn't made to work at high resolution and the interface is very tiny. I have to record, and then relaunch allowing the system to adjust the scaling in order to the editing. I did report this to the company but it doesn't seem to have been fixed yet. Alternatives considered [Snagit](https://www.capterra.com/p/209649/Snagit/) Reason for choosing ScreenPal It had more video editing features. Switched from [Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/) I switched because the price was so much cheaper, but I love the functionality so much better. Review Source PB Pamela B.

It has all the tools of an expensive video editor for a fraction of the cost. The training videos are also very helpful and well made. Pros Screencast-O-Matic is very versitle and can do a lot for a very reasonable price. I use it for screen capture software demonstrations. Cons Sometimes I get confused with the separate screen for the Video Library. I would like to see improved navigation from that to the recording screen. Review Source EM Edmund M.
