What is Screencasting?
What is Screencasting?
"A screencast is a digital video recording that captures actions taking place on a computer desktop. Screencasts, which often contain voice-over narration, are useful for
demonstrating how to use specific operating systems, software applications or website features.
Screencast production requires some kind of video-capture software and a microphone. The software, which can be a desktop client or web-based service, captures and
synchronizes the video and audio files and compresses the completed movie into a format that can be shared."

6. What do I need to do for a Video Consultation!
To meet remotely with a consultant, you will first set up Google Hangouts and then make an appointment:
For FAU Students and Faculty Members: Activate Google Plus on your Google FAU email account. If you do not have a Google FAU Email account, you can use another
Gmail account. If you do not have any sort of Google FAU email or Gmail account.
For PBSC Students and Faculty Members: Since PBSC uses Microsoft Outlook as their email platform if you would like a video consult you will need to create a Gmail account if
you do not already have one active. Thanks.
