With Screencastify's new plan, many people have reached out asking for alternatives.
- Please note Screencastify does allow 10 videos for free that are still stored in your Google Drive. However, if you delete in Screencastify, it deletes the same video in your Google Drive account.
- You can go in to your Drive account and make a copy of videos you want to keep and then delete in Screencastify.
While there are many alternatives to Screencastify, the most robust one is Loom. The free version of Loom allows up to 25 videos and 5 minutes in length. However, Loom for Education allows unlimited videos and up to 40 minutes in length. To sign up for an education account - click here.
To get started with Loom, make sure to logon to the site and create your account. Choose your signup method (I used Google) and then (if you use Chrome) add their easy to use extension by clicking here.
Again, if you are an educator, make sure to fill out the Google Form and within 2 days you will be upgraded to an education account (I had a friend who filled out the form and within 2 hours was upgraded).
In the next post I will share how to record with Loom and a few tips and tricks.
Embedded below is a 1 minute and 56 second YouTube tutorial followed by a 2 minute and 8 second tutorial showing how to make your first recording.
Take care,
Brad
