First Time Set Up

Expand

Step 1

Install the Screencastify extension in the Chrome browser. 

Step 2

Sign in with your Drew email address.

Note: If you don't see the extension, you might just have too many other extensions. Try using the keyboard shortcut - Alt+Shift+S on Windows or Option+Shift+S on Mac - to open the extension and prompt the setup steps. 

You will need to allow cookies for this site (some people have them blocked, either in Chrome settings and/or with an extension.)

Tip: If you want to follow the setup in Chrome using the Sign in With Google option, make sure you choose your Drew Google account. 

Step 3

Connect your Google Drive.

This allows Screencastify to automatically save your recordings to your Drive - a safer place to store them than on your local computer.

Signing in with your Drew Google account takes care of this.

Step 4

Check Screencastify's instructions for setting up your webcam and microphone.
