Record It - Screen Recorder 4+

Having to learn on the fly, in the middle of my own quarantine how to do online lessons for my students was anxiety inducing and I had a steep learning curve. There were many issues in the begining with my students unable to open files etc. - all of us were learning. Once I got Record It, I was able to go "all Kahn Academy" on this by recording my powerpoints/embedded videos. My students are enjoying the lessons a lot.

Recently there was a glitch and I could not use it - but it seems to have sorted itself out after I reloaded the app and shut down my laptop. Happy teacher riding this out still in China week 9.

I feel as if they stole money out my pocket and there’s no way to get a hold of anyone that I’ve seen to get your money back. I teach, and I used this from literally the day that the Covid shutdown started to keep my students working. Without telling me there was a trial period that ended, it just stopped recording anything past a few minutes. After playing with it, I realized that there was a paid license. The lack of an alert cost me several hours, but I paid for it and it worked. Then, when it was time to update, it simply stopped working again. So, I’m out the money for the license and now having to locate a different program because they don’t have it set up for you to even express a concern. Honestly, I hope places like this fold when this is over. It’s really no different than if they went in my wallet and took the money, but I don’t have the chance to physically confront them for it, which I think I’d prefer over the money back.

Took a little while for me to get used to the features, but once I've had this working, I can't imagine running workshops and having calls now without this tool. The bonus ability to save as a GIF file is also pretty handy for making memes.

One mistake I made earlier on was not selecting the right area on my screen with the marquee tool for recordings. I assumed that if I selected "window", it would automatically record the entire window that was selected. However, if you accidentally click into that window in the beginning, you may actually limit the size of the window and create a smaller recording area. I made this mistake, and realized later that I had only recorded a tiny 15 by 15 pixel box of a Hangouts conference call I was running. I still had the audio recording, so it was still useful, but I wish I could have followed a tutorial video the first time I used this app, so that I did not have to make this mistake.

Overall, this is a great app that seems very stable, and never crashes on me! It just takes a little practice to use properly.

NOTE: I use a Macbook Pro on OS Catalina
