There is a free version of ScreenPal that anyone can use, but it has drawbacks such as watermarks and limited recording time. You can compare the versions on the ScreenPal upgrade page. The free version is accessed from the ScreenPal Screen Recorder.
If you are an instructor at Lane and you would like to use the Pro version of ScreenPal for academic purposes, contact the ATC and ask for the ScreenPal URL and password. We have a site license that we can give you access to so you don't have to pay for it.
- Open up ScreenPal with ATC’s login that is provided to you. You should see a screen similar to the image below.
- Choose what type of camera you want to use: screen (the desktops camera,) webcam (attached to the computer via USB or another plug in,) or both. Drag the dashed box to fit the area you want to record. Everything within the box will be recorded. It may be best to have a script prepared for the screencast recording.
- Once you’ve finished recording, or need a break, click on the blue Pause button. You can play back, edit, delete, or complete the video from the Pause button.
-
- When you’re happy with how the video is, click Done to finish the videos.
- Choose where you want to upload, i.e. Saving as a Video File, Upload to YouTube, Upload to Google Drive
- Set the publishing options to your choices, then select Publish, this puts the video in the area of interest.
