What is a Screencast?

In a nutshell, a "Screencast" is a video which records anything that can be displayed on a computer screen. You can narrate what you are doing on your computer so a viewer can learn about your company's services or products. Why not just show them in person?

Perhaps you have a PowerPoint presentation that describes your company. Just turn on Camstudio and narrate your PowerPoint presentation. You’ll have a video to upload to YouTube.com and post on your website. Or you can burn it to a CD and let them play it in ITunes or Windows Media Player.

Or your business uses custom software not available anywhere else. All new employees need to learn how to use it before they can become productive. Create a Screencast of someone using the software so new employees can watch how you want it to be used.

Or maybe you grow weary of helping your computer-challenged mother-in-law check her e-mail. Just create a Screencast once and she can review it again and again whenever she forgets.
