From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture , often containing audio narration.
Just as a screenshot is a picture of a user’s screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on his monitor.
