Summaries of Screencast-o-matic.
In 2015 March I published a total video introduction of Screencast-o-matic. You can see that video.
here.

Last fall I produced a chart and composed a detailed contrast of totally free screencasting tools. In my ranking of free options, Screencastify came out on top. That chart and ranking can be seen here.

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

I get lots of questions sent out to me every week. There is one that I get asked more often than any other. That is, “what are you utilizing to make your videos.” Typically, individuals ask that due to the fact that they need to know how Im highlighting my mouse tip in my videos or how Im developing the moving oval cut-out of my cam.

If you see it in other places, it has actually been utilized without approval.

Generally, individuals ask that because they desire to understand how Im highlighting my mouse pointer in my videos or how Im producing the moving oval cut-out of my webcam.

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