I struggled for a long time to find a tool that would record my screen, or my webcam, or both together and then I came across Screen Cast O Matic. It is a great tool that is just so easy to use.

I suggest that you download it to your computer making it even easier to use.

Signing up is free, and you can record videos up to 15 minutes long which I find is more than adequate for my needs. There is a paid version which lets you record videos longer than 15 minutes and it costs only $15 a year so it is not like it will break your bank.

You can save your videos to your computer or to your Screen Cast O Matic profile. You also have the option to upload it directly to Youtube.

I did some previous training on Youtube which you can check out here:

As mentioned in that training I suggest you save your videos to your computer first and name your video as the keyword you want to rank on Youtube for since this will help your rankings.

I hope you have found this training helpful, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments.

Thanks for sharing this Lynne! I really need to do this yet, lol. I keep putting it off and one of the reasons was trying to choose a screen recorder. You've done an excellent job on showing how to use Screencast-o-Matic and make it look so easy! Now, I shouldn't have any more excuses after watching this...

Keep up the awesome job!
Best wishes :) ~Sherry

LOL you won't get any excuses when I am done with you Sherry.

It is easy, and yes sure it will take a little bit of time to feel completely comfortable with a tool but you wont get there until you start using it will you?

Like Sherry, I keep procrastinating on making videos, mostly because I didn't know which recorder to use. Doing a video will be a new territory for me, and I'm a bit nervous about it.

Thanks for making this training. Your videos are stamped with a personal touch because it's cool seeing you on bottom right-hand corner. -Tina

Screencast-o-Matic is great. I use it for all my videos now. I write scripts consisting of tiny chunks, record one chunk at a time, then edit the little chunks together using Microsoft Movie Maker. Works just fine.

Ok yeah, you are more knowledgeable than me. I don't have a clue how to edit so I must just do it all in one.

It's great, though, Lynne, because you are so good at just going with the flow in the moment. Your videos are really good.

It is great William, I have just started messing around with another tool since I had to find something else to record this with but I am not really very familiar with how it works yet so as soon as I figure it out well I will share a video on that one too.
