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.

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.
