One of those cropping options is to utilize an oval. When Im making longer videos Ill also use the clip merging tools, shift tools, and text overlay tools that are readily available in Screencast-o-matic.

Introductions of Screencast-o-matic.
Last year March I published a total video introduction of Screencast-o-matic. You can see that video.
here.

There is one that I get asked more often than any other. Typically, people ask that since they desire to understand how Im highlighting my mouse pointer in my videos or how Im developing the moving oval cut-out of my webcam.

Screencast-o-matic is the tool that I use to develop almost all of the videos that appear on my YouTube channel. Screencast-o-matic is offered in a browser-based version and in a desktop “deluxe” variation. I use the desktop variation unless Im utilizing my Chromebook..
The deluxe variation of Screencast-o-matic is the paid version that costs $1.65/ month. With that variation comes the choice to crop and resize the web cam view that you can overlay on your screencast. Among those cropping choices is to utilize an oval. Thats what I do. Screencast-o-matic also supplies the alternative to have a highlighted circle follow your mouse pointer on your screen. When Im making longer videos Ill likewise utilize the clip merging tools, shift tools, and text overlay tools that are readily available in Screencast-o-matic.

Last fall I developed a chart and wrote a comprehensive contrast of complimentary screencasting tools. In my ranking of free alternatives, Screencastify came out on top. That chart and ranking can be seen here.
