- You want to record yourself reading a book
- You want to record yourself giving students instructions on how to accomplish a task or assignment
- You want to record yourself speaking and be able to show your students a presentation, flipchart, website, etc.
Pros: Quick and easy method for recording and sharing the link.
Cons: If you are presenting your screen and showing flip charts, presentations, websites, and documents it works fine. If you want to incorporate showing a video within this recording, the video you are showing within the screen recording will be "choppy".
