Awesome Free Alternative To Camtasia (Free HQ Screen Recording)

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to share a little secret with the newbies who can't afford a decent screen recording app for your business.. This is a dead simple solution for free video/screen capture...

Just use Google Hangouts On Air.

Why? Because it's an all-in-one free alternative.

- Videos automatically posted to your YouTube account and ready to share with the world
- You can record yourself on a webcam or record your screen
- You can broadcast live for free webinars
- You can make it unlisted if you don't want to share it immediately
- Can be actually easier to rank in Google search because it's considered "Fresh Content"

Here is the link-

How to do free "Camtasia Style" screen recording on Hangouts:

After setup using the link above, hit "start" (video button)
-Place your mouse by the left side of the video call window. A bar with various app icons will appear.
-Click the Screenshare icon . (icon is a green screen with white arrow)
-Choose whether to share your entire desktop, your browser window, or app.
-Click Start share.
-Click "Broadcast" on the bottom of the screen to start recording.

That's it. Easy Peasy.

I used this a few times before I moved up to Camtasia. It works pretty well for screen recording and webinars. I hope this helps!
