- Open up the site, presentation, etc. that you would lik to screencast.
- Go to Screencast-o-matic and watch the very quick demo.
- Click on the "Start Recording" button. You may need to run Java - choose "Run this time".
- A dotted box with controls will appear. Center your content that you want to screencast inside the dotted box. This may mean that you need to resize windows. You can also change the size of the box by selecting from the drop down menu - the default is 640x480 which is standard for most websites, but you can make it larger. The larger screen size will result in a much larger size video. You can also resize the dotted box by dragging an edge or corner, but it is recommended that you use the default sizes in the drop down menu option.
- Click on the microphone icon to select a microphone. Test your microphone and adjust the volume by clicking on the green bars icon. Record a short sentence and play it back to make sure that it works.
- If you have a webcam, you can activate that as well. You will be able to have Picture-in-Picture (PiP) that you can decide to keep or remove at the end of your recording and before you download the file to your computer.
- Click the red record button when you are ready to go! If you make a mistake in your narration, simply pause your narration (site quietly) for about 10-20 seconds and then repeat the narration. You will be able to edit out these mistakes in the editing stage. If you need to pause during the presentation to change screens, use ALT-P (hold down the Alt key and press the letter P on your keyboard). Your free screencast is limited to 15 minutes - but try to keep the finished product much shorter than that.
- Once you're finished, you will want to save the video file to your computer so that you have copy of the original. The length of the download will depend upon the length (size) of your video.
- Next, log into YouTube and navigate to your channel. Upload your video using the Upload tool. If you need to edit (most of us do!), then use the YouTube Editor tool. Typically, the longest step in getting your video published is the editing stage, so be patient and do your best.
- Publish your video to your channel when it is finished. Be sure to tag your video as "education" in order for it to show up for your students.
