Administration tools could be more robust. I would like to be able to create limited administrators in the system with specific rights and limited to certain collections of videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a college with 22 campuses, we needed a cost effective solution that worked on scale. Additionally, we needed a system that was simple to use, but also offered advanced editing features for faculty and staff that want advanced editing capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ScreenPal?

I love how user friendly ScreenPal is to use. It has a lot of great features to add ot videos once you become familiar with the platform. I also love that you can add your own resources or access their resource bank for music, images, and videos. I love that I can add questions and checks for understanding throughout my videos to make sure my students are paying attention along the way. I use it all the time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenPal?

There is a little bit of a learning curve, but once you understand the basics, many of the features work the same way. Sometimes it is hard to get an exact cut because it only lets you "zoom in" on the track to a certain point, but for my use, it isn't a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

ScreenPal is allowing me to create instructional lessons for my students so that I can create a more inclusive classroom. I am able to differentiate student learning more. I have more time to work with students one-on-one and in small groups to really focus on their needs. ScreenPal allows students who are not in the classroom at the time a lesson is taught to still access the lesson without interuption. Parents, guardians, tutors, and other support staff can also watch my videos so everyone is "learning" the same information with the same resources and tools.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about ScreenPal?

The reason that I like ScreenPal is because it is easy to download & Install as well as easy to use. I can capture my screen, provide voice over, and even trim videos within seconds. Screenplay saves so much time for me. At my ESL class, I use ScreenPal to make entertaining lessons such as explain grammar rules or a vocabulary game. I also record pronunciation guides and interactive writing tips to better assist my students in their practice. Moreover, I employ it to explain the corrections regarding assignments to make the learning process easier and fun for my learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenPal?

I don't like the fact that there is some option in ScreenPal that you have to pay for. The free version only provides limited recording time and the number of available editing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sometimes there were issues with video editing, but ScreenPal has smoothed out those perfectly. I can use it to record the screen without a hitch and this is perfect if you want to create a tutorial or presentation. It’s helpful in my ESL class because it allows me to plan creative lessons: it can be a lesson plan on how to teach grammar as a series of steps or a set of activities on how to expand vocabulary. The basic editing tools are helping me so much and help my instructional videos look polished, even with little to no editing experience! That is why I also use it for writing videos for students in which I explain to them what they did right and wrong. In my opinion, ScreenPal has taken my work as a teacher to another level of performance such that my lessons are now much more vibrant and productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ScreenPal?

ScreenPal is very easy to use, and once you have an account, the files remain ready to go back and make any changes you need at a later time. I also really like all the 'call out' and editing features, which again, once you've worked out where they all are, are very easy and quick to use.

Once I started using it, it all became second nature and all the videos are in date order, so easier to find. I probably use it about once a week for quite detailed tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenPal?

Sometimes I would like to see a bigger screen of the video while I edit it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Generally, I am not a fan of subscription based software. But the software I was using before became very expensive to upgrade and not worth the price for the level of use I have of it. So when I found ScreenPal at a sensible yearly cost, it made prefect sence for me, and actually encouraged me to do more videos.

It also easily allows me to include or exclude a webcam and chose which mic to use as well as doing a very good job of dealing with room noise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ScreenPal?

Of all the new AI-powered tools I've come across—considering that a million more seem to pop up every minute—ScreenPal stands out for its incredible versatility across platforms, right when you need it. As a learning experience designer, I constantly need to capture and record how-to and testing videos. ScreenPal not only lets me record my screen but also enables me to add my voice or camera to explain step-by-step processes across various applications and devices. The best part? I can edit everything seamlessly on mobile, tablet, or desktop and even add quizzes to my videos! This application is an absolute game-changer. Its AI features analyze my captured content and automatically create assessments. I’ve used other screen recording apps that compete with major video editors, but they take up a lot of storage space and require tedious management of saved content—sorting through mistakes and keeping the best footage organized. With ScreenPal, I can save all my work directly to the cloud storage provided with my account.

This tool is a lifesaver for software instruction, making it a quick and efficient one-and-done solution. The team behind it clearly knows what they're doing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenPal?

Using ScreenPal at my desk prevents me from using OBS software simultaneously—a habit I’ve developed because I prefer OBS’s chroma key over most browser-based options. That said, the ScreenPal chroma key gets the job done and comes with a full library of media overlays, backgrounds, and music. I’ll admit, I’m probably being a bit old-school by trying to juggle too many apps at once, which can strain my RAM. For a smoother recording experience, it’s always better to run fewer apps while capturing to avoid delays caused by slow performance. When you consider that ScreenPal includes all these tools, media options, and storage in one app, you realize it’s exactly what you needed all along! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need ScreenPal for rapid capture of a process or use of an application to determine if the application is functional or to teach others how to complete their work using multiple steps that involve applications at a desktop, a tablet or on their mobile device.

What do you like best about ScreenPal?

It does an excellent job of creating screencasts, capturing them, and distributing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenPal?

It isn't free, but many things that are worth having aren't free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I teach and Advanced Placement class, and my students often need to see derivations multiple times, and at their own pace, to understand the complex concepts taught in the class. ScreenPal does a great job of capturing video and audio clearly and hosting the videos for students to review when they need to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ScreenPal?

It works as advertised and it is easy to use. But on its own, locally running ScreenPal appears to offer no features over and above what I had with Screencast-o-matic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenPal?

No local AI capabilities. Couldn't see any mention about hosted AI capabilities that would help make my video editing tasks go faster or more efficiently such as auto removing my many 'ums', 'ahs', 'so', etc. Removing low level noise automatically such as when I breathe in deeply when I'm about to speak. Auto speeding up 2+ second delays into a 1-second delay, etc. This is the vast majority of my edits.

I also dislike that the install of ScreenPal auto-removed my existing install of Screencast-o-matic without asking my permission first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fast, simple adequate editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how ScreenPal is user-friendly and the features that are available help to make it easy to integrate and into so many classroom implementations for both in-person and virtual instruction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenPal?

I have yet to find anything about ScreenPall that I dislike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sometimes it is just easier to "show" a student or coworker how to do something rather than "tell" them. By creating easy-to-share links, ScreenPal has allowed me to be in multiple places at once to be able to assist students with assignments and coworkers with new technology that we are implementing to increase productivity.

What do you like best about ScreenPal?

I have trouble remediating areas of weakness for my students that I teach. I use ScreenPal to record video tutorials that they can play over and over to themselves as I don't have the time to repeat myself. This is especially useful when I include captions for my English Language Learners. I can't teach without it. Have been a proud and devoted user since 2017. As for me as a night student at a technical college, I use it to watch and rewatch important key parts of Zoom lectures using the screen recorder feature. I am an auditory learner. Many times I just let the online lectures replay as I am cleaning my house. I need to see and hear some things again and again just like my own classroom students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenPal?

I have no complaints. I just need to find the time to complete the different free trainings to enhance my videos that I create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not having the time or patience to repeat myself. Not being able to hear important information again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ScreenPal?

I have been using this software since it was called "Screencast-O-Matic" and I have to say it has helped me TREMENDOUSLY throughout my business and career. It is so simple and straightforward to use that I'd highly recommend it to anyone. The Support is also WAY above industry standards that you see these days. Truly there is no need to look elsewhere, this will work for you, no matter what type of machine you use (personally I am a Mac user, but also used to use it on a PC). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenPal?

None. Seriously. It's a fantastic system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenPal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Effective and efficient way to relay visual explanations to my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
