Screencast video

A screencast is a capture, by video or picture, of a computer screen.  People use screencasts to explain how to do something with a specific, step-by-step, explanation. There are many different tools that one can use to create a screencast.  The tool I used is called Screencast-O-Matic. It is easy to use and free to download. There are also other tools available such as jing or screenr.com.

The video I put together is one minute and forty-five seconds and its purpose is to show viewers how to access basic information about their Windows 8 computer. The information I show how to find in the video is the processor speed of the computer, the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) the computer has, and the amount of TOTAL hard drive space and of AVAILABLE hard drive space the computer has.
