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

Last fall I created a chart and wrote a comprehensive comparison of free screencasting tools. In my ranking of totally free alternatives, Screencastify triumphed. That chart and ranking can be seen here.

Screencast-o-matic is the tool that I utilize to develop nearly 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 “luxurious” variation. I utilize the desktop version unless Im using my Chromebook..
The luxurious variation of Screencast-o-matic is the paid version that costs $1.65/ month. With that version comes the alternative to crop and resize the webcam view that you can overlay on your screencast. One of those cropping choices is to use an oval. Thats what I do. Screencast-o-matic also provides the choice to have a highlighted circle follow your mouse tip on your screen. When Im making longer videos Ill also use the clip combining tools, shift tools, and text overlay tools that are readily available in Screencast-o-matic.

Generally, individuals ask that due to the fact that they desire to understand how Im highlighting my mouse pointer in my videos or how Im developing the moving oval cut-out of my cam.

I get great deals of concerns sent to me each week. There is one that I get asked more regularly than any other. That is, “what are you using to make your videos.” Typically, individuals ask that because they wish to know how Im highlighting my mouse pointer in my videos or how Im producing the moving oval cut-out of my cam.
