Create Instant Screencasts for Free with Screenr

Today I came across Screenr, a web-based tool for creating screencasts. It’s simple to use and works on both PCs and Macs (since it runs from your browser). Once you record your screencast you can choose to embed it on your website, or share it with your friends on Facebook or Twitter. With their new universal player feature, your screencasts can play on nearly any device (including an iPhone or iPad) when embedded on your site or blog. And the best part is its completely free to use. This seems like a useful webmaster tool so I wanted to share it with you.

If you want to try out Screenr for yourself, take a stroll over to their website. They also have a short, under-1 minute video that shows you how to record screencasts using their software. I’ve embedded a Screenr made video from their blog below to show you some of the new features they’ve recently added. Plus, it lets you see how screencasts made with it look when you embed them on your site. I’m going to play around with the software a bit more myself, and hopefully I’ll get the chance to include a screencast made with this tool.
