FAQ:
  1. What platforms/browsers are supported?
  2. How much does it cost?
  3. Can I export my screencast to flash, quicktime, windows media, etc?
  4. Can I get better image or audio quality?
  5. What is the max length a screencast can be?
1. What platforms/browsers are supported?
We're using a Java applet (requires Java 1.5) to do the screen capture and playback so theoretically it should support all major platforms and browsers. That said there are some issues with certain combinations of platforms/browsers. Here is what we've tested on so far:
  • All Good! - Windows Vista / IE 7.0
  • All Good! - Windows Vista / Firefox 2.0
  • All Good! - Windows XP SP2 / IE 6.0
  • All Good! - Windows XP SP2 / IE 7.0
  • All Good! - Windows XP SP2 / Firefox 2.0
  • All Good! - Windows XP SP2 / Opera 9
  • All Good! - MAC OS X / Safari 2.0.4
  • All Good! - MAC OS X / Firefox 2.0
  • Minor Capturing Issues - Linux (Redhat Fadora Core 3) / Firefox 2.0
Please let us know if you use Screencast-O-Matic on any other platform/browser combinations!
2. How much does it cost?
Nothing! It's completely free.
3. Can I export my screencast to flash, quicktime, windows media, etc?
You can export your screencast to quicktime (.mov) format.
4. Can I get better image or audio quality?
The quality of the screen image and audio is reduced since we want to have fast downloads for watching the screencasts. If you'd like to have better quality let us know and we'll work on making that available!
5. What is the max length a screencast can be?
Right now they are limited to 15 minutes each for free hosting.
Please let us know if you've got other questions comments!
