Free online screen capture tool

som2.gifHere is a great online app that lets you capture you screen, audio and all, and save it to a quicktime file.

It’s called Screencast-o-matic and it works across most operating systems as long as you have the right version of Java. The quality is slightly reduced to help playback but it’s a handy , cool, little app.

(thanks to Brad Linder for the heads-up)

    Personally I swear by Camstudio – it is open source and can export the video it captures as SWF files for Flash as well – http://sourceforge.net/projects/camstudio/

    Martin: I had actually been trying to get CamStudio to work with Windows Vista (unsuccessfully) when I found Screencast-o-matic. It’s not the best screencast application by a longshot. It exports videos as Quicktime movies, for example, which are more difficult to edit. It captures video at low framerates, and the sound quality isn’t great.

    But it’s free, and extraordinarily easy to use, so it’s become my application of choice until CamStudio is updated to work better with Vista.

  5. Thanks Andy. This seems to be great utility
