Screen recording tutorials

There are many video recording/screencasting tools available to use! These four all function similarly: Panopto, Screencast-o-Matic, Canvas Studio and Youtube.

Each of these video tools are free to use (Screencast-o-Matic offers additional features with a subscription)

Cuesta offers a full license Panopto Video Cloud Platform for video/screen capture, automatic AI-closed captioning, transcripts, quizzes, and a cloud-based hosting service integrated within and externally of Canvas.
Canvas Studio is a subscription currently being paid for by the state initiative CVC/OEI. A Instructure Product that allows instructors to record directly within Canvas. Studio includes a captioning tool but does require you to publish the captions after they are generated. Note: if the state discontinues paying for this service faculty will need to move media to a Cuesta hosted application.
Screencast-o-Matic's free web site that offers basic screen capture features, and many more editing and auto-closed captioning features for its two pay versions. Compare the three Screencast-o-Matic levels: Free, Deluxe ($1.65/mo) and Premiere ($4/mo).
Youtube offers screen recording, machine generated closed-captioning, and a world-wide audience (or you can set videos to various privacy levels).

Panopto

Cuesta College offers a full subscription to Panopto's services, which include the ability to record from the cloud, a desktop application and hosting services. The services are free when using your Cuesta login and accessible through Canvas or directly at [https://cuesta.hosted.panopto.com]. When you are logged into Canvas you may add the "Panopto Video" link in the Canvas navigation bar or access it from the Rich Content Editor (RCE) when on a canvas page, quiz, assignment, announcement.

A recent webinar training shows you how to get started using Panopto to screen record/record using a web cam, and manage the videos you record and upload to the media space cloud.

Here's the heart of the how-to. The process to record in the following sequence for you here:

YouTube

YouTube hosts videos for free, and it's the biggest video archive in the world with nearly five billion videos consumed daily. Tutorial and "explainer" videos are very popular, and if you have a question, a video on YouTube probably has an answer for you.

If you have a Gmail account, you also have a YouTube account (Google owns YouTube) so you can upload a video and re-post that video to a Canvas course.

YouTube earned $3.8 billion in ad revenue in 2019, so you'll hear about advertising and how to boost your subscribers when using YouTube.

YouTube offers speech-to-text automatic closed captioning, basic editing features, and an expansive "how-to" video tutorial library to guide you through video creation, monetizing, and marketing your video channel to build your audience.

If you already have a Gmail account then you also have a YouTube account (Google owns Youtube, and utilizes the same login/password). Here are some tutorials on this process:
