Screencast
SCREENCAST is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture , often containing audio narration. The term screencast compares with the related term screenshot; whereas screenshot is a picture of a computer screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on a computer screen, enhanced with audio narration.
