If you want to record your screen and share the video quickly with others without making edits, you can use the Quick Share option in the licensed version of Screenpal/Screencast-O-Matic. This is particularly useful for showing issues to the TEL and IT Services help desks. 

Screencast-O-Matic recently rebranded to Screenpal, with a new look and feel website and desktop application. You can continue to use Screencast-O-Matic as is, or update to the newest Screenpal version. See Updating Screencast-O-Matic to Screenpal for more information. Updating the application does not affect your existing username/password, saved content, or settings. 

This help article covers using both Screenpal and Screencast-O-Matic (if you want to continue to use the older version). Scroll down to get to Screencast-O-Matic instructions.
