Screen recorder

Record a lesson, then make students answer it

What is the Edform screen recorder?

The screen recorder is part of Edform's video lessons. When you start a new video lesson, choose Record and pick Screen + microphone or Camera + microphone; the recording happens in your browser and is saved to your account, with nothing to install. Then it becomes a normal video lesson: cut the start and end, add questions of any type and notes at any moment, and give it to students. The video stops at every question, skipping ahead can be turned off, and the report shows each student's answers and how much of the video they watched.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything to record?

No. Recording runs in your browser. The browser asks once for permission to use your screen, camera or microphone.

Can I record my screen and my voice at the same time?

Yes. Choose Screen + microphone. Choose Camera + microphone to record yourself instead.

Can I add questions to a recording?

Yes. A recording becomes a normal video lesson: add questions and notes at any moment, and the video stops for each one.

Can I also use YouTube videos?

Yes. Video lessons work with YouTube and Vimeo links, uploaded videos and screen recordings.

Can students skip ahead?

You can turn skipping ahead off, so students have to watch up to each question before they answer it.

Is it free?

Yes. Recording and video lessons are on the free Basic plan.
