Using Screenr

Feb 17, 2011

I am new to the Articulate products and unclear who "owns" Screenr. I see it as an option in Create Screencasts on the toolbar and wonder if it is an Articulate product? I've seen a number of tutorials using Screenr and want to try it out. Can this be incorporated in my presentation? The toolbar option takes me to Screenr for Twitter and I know the tutorial said you can save elsewhere. I don't want to save to YouTube or Twitter, just my own presentation for now. So, before I hit done, I thought I'd check. Thanks!

Hi Anne and welcome to Heroes!

That's right, Screenr is an Articulate product. Screenr currently requires you to log in using a Twitter account. You don't have to post your screencast to Twitter, but you will need a Twitter account to log in and save your screencast on Screenr.com.

To record a screencast and save for use in an Articulate Presenter course, you would first record your screencast and then download the screencast.mp4 file from your Screenr.com page.

You could then go back and delete your screencast from Screenr if privacy was a concern. But if privacy is a really big concern, you'd probably want to look at a desktop screencasting tool so your content was never online. Screenr was designed so users could share their recordings.

Here are a couple good (Screenr) videos on how to insert Screenr into your Presenter '09 courses:

Hi Dave

Why no option to use your Heroes credentials to log in to Screenr?

Tks

Hey Rob - that's a good question. My guess is it has something to do with Screenr using more standard login methods to verify user accounts. Maybe one day Heroes will accept the same account logins as Screenr:
