TIP: with the free version of Screencastify, you will only be able to record a five-minute video. It is best to keep videos for online learning short and concise (between 3 to 5 minutes). If you need to record a complex topic, It is recommended that you make a series of short videos instead of one long video.
Video Options
- Notice your options for the completed video in the right sidebar.
- From there, choose to either view your finished video in your Google Drive folder, save it on YouTube, or see embed code that you can use to post your video on a website or in a learning management system.
