ScreenJelly: Record and Tweet your Screen

ScreenJelly is an online screen recording tool with an easy Twitter sharing feature in addition to conventional sharing methods. The free service will allow you to record up to three minutes of your screen activity along with your voice and easily share it with your online buddies. There’s no need to download or install anything except for a Java plugin for your browser which is needed in order for ScreenJelly to work.

The service is designed for viewers with low attention span. The three minute screen recording may just be enough for Twitter users. You can consider it as your micro-screen recording service. With so many stuff going on inside one’s Twitter account, posting short screen-casts may just be enough to keep your followers from getting bored. If you want to produce screencasts that goes beyond three minutes, you should try ScreenToaster. This will give you more screen recording juice and produce long tutorials.

Screenjelly is designed for quick, easy spreading of information—when you just need to share something visual with people in the moment, without a lot of effort or time on your part.

Developers and designers can use ScreenJelly to showcase their work and get instant feedback. Gamers can show off new levels and discoveries they made on the game. People who needs support can record and share software errors to get instant feedback and solutions. So, whether you just want to share something cool on your screen, record something weird or want an instant feedback for your work, try ScreenJelly for your micro-screen recording needs.

ScreenToaster: Online Screen Recorder

Screen Toaster is an online service that allows you to make video recordings of your computer screen. It eliminates the need to download and install a desktop application to record and publish screencasts.

ScreenToaster applies cutting edge technologies in order to make recorded screencasts look exactly like your screen.

We use VNC, an open source video technology, to capture video frames directly at the level of the video driver.

Our proprietary format compresses the video stream in a very small file while keeping a good quality.

The ScreenToaster app allows you to record in two modes. You can either record in full screen or a portion of your screen by using a selection tool to highlight which part of your screen will be recorded. Just click Alt + S on your keyboard to stop the recording. Only until then you can add subtitles, record sound to your video and change the preview image. Once published, where you have the option to keep the video private, the screencast will be granted a permanent URL which will enable sharing and embedding.

This is a great tool for creating simple video tutorials or screencast reactions about desktop or web applications. Even though that the service is still short of editing features, it’s still a very useful web app. It would be great if they can add simple editing features like cutting unwanted frames from the recorded videos. Since the service is still in its very early stage, maybe in the future we’ll see more features.

Note: You can use ScreenToaster without creating an account. However, if you wish to create a profile and start screencasting, you need to request for an invite code.
