What is it?

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 the 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.

*Special Note*

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.
