Screencast-O-Matic Install Instructions
- Go to the Screencast-O-Matic home page: http://screencast-o-matic.com/home
- Click on the "Start Recording" button
- It will try to Launch the Recorder. If you have Java installed correctly and it is up-to-date, you could give permission to Java to run-but often it is not update-to-date or set up correctly.
- Instead, at this point, you have two choices: Download the launcher or Download the full app. See below for detailed install instructions for each choice.
Download the Screencast-O-Matic launcher
- In the middle of the web page, below the heading "Get recorder launcher!", click on the Download launcher link
- Click on the dialog box for the Installer, then click on the Save File button
- In the upper right area of your Firefox toolbar, click on the blue down (download) button
- Click on the Install file, then click on the "Run" button; you'll receive a pop-up letting you know the Screen Recorder is ready. Click OK.
- In the middle of the web page, you'll see the message "Download Started!", below it, click on the try again link; you'll see a pop-up window for the Screen Recorder Launcher; click OK; you'll now see the Recorder appear.
- You can now record your screen or use your webcam to create a video recording.
- To restart the launcher:
- Click on the Home button on the Screencast-o-Matic web page
- Click on the Start Recording button
- Click OK on the pop-up window for the Screen Record Launcher
Download the Screencast-O-Matic full app
- Go to the Screencast-O-Matic home page: http://screencast-o-matic.com/home
- Click on the "Start Recording" button
- It will try to Launch the Recorder. If you have Java installed correctly and it is up-to-date, you could give permission to Java to run-but often it is not update-to-date or set up correctly.
- Instead, Download the full app:
- Under Frequently Asked Questions, under the first question "What if I can't get it to work in the browser?", click on the link to "Download the full app install"
- You'll need to save the install file and after it downloads, click on the file and run it. Click Next, then Install. I suggest you click beside "Create Desktop Shortcut", then click Finish. Click on "FREE Recorder".
- You're now ready to record your screen or use your webcam to create a video recording.
- Under Frequently Asked Questions, under the first question "What if I can't get it to work in the browser?", click on the link to "Download the full app install"
