Google Screencast for ChromeOS (Product Update)
Teachers can record, trim, transcribe and share lessons or demos for rewindable learning. Students can create their own screencasts to share their ideas and what they’ve learned. Recordings are stored on Google Drive, and can be accessed via link to the Screencast app – at school or from home.
To use the new Screencast tool you will need to be using a Chromebook with version 103 of the operating system or higher. Language needs to be English (US). Open the Screencast tool from the ChromeOS launcher.
