Screencastify is a tool for recording, editing, and sharing videos. It can be used in the Chrome browser. It lets you record your screen, with drawings and highlighting clicks, and an option to have yourself in the recording.

Drew University has, as of this writing, a site wide license. 

First Time Set Up

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.

Now you're all set to use Screencastify!
