| 2024-11-20 |  | | en | Great resource! This is a wonderful replacement for those of us who were using flip. It is super easy to use both from a teacher and a student perspective. |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | en | what, why do I need to install chrome |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | en | Wont let you record without signing in... wont even let me sign in. Useless |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | en | I love it! It allows me to create things for absent students and for review/enrichment as well. I use it several times a week. |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | en | keeps making me have to reinstall |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | en | Complete rubbish. Not a single thing can be done unless subscribing. There are other extensions that already allow basic screenshotting and video recording without all this red tape. Avoid like the plague and look elsewhere. Also login isn't working reliably and therefore it's even more useless. Removed as soon as installed and won't ever look back. |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | en | asks subscription even to open the file :( I tried this extension SCREEN RECORDER - MY SPACE. Capture Screen & Camera. Share via GOOGLE DRIVE. Worth it no subscription required and works definitely well enough. |
| 2024-11-07 |  | | en | Since the start of the school year 2024/2025 screencastify did a 180. Their new version is terrible. I have to suggest different programs to students at this point (clip champ, screencast (only on certain versions of chromebooks), canva, etc...). This used to be an extension that I bragged about. Now I have students frequently having troubles recording/sharing videos, or while recording my own videos it just quits randomly. I have sent feedback to their team but there hasn't been any change. |
