Mostly tutorials which are some hard to understand or complicated in writing skip by the peoples, because of text tutorials only. But if we create a proper video by capturing our computer/laptop screen and upload the video with the tutorial, then it will become more comfortable to your visitors. We can describe anything which we perform on our computer to anyone by just making a proper video of our actions.
We use screencasting (screen recording) for making the video of our various tasks performed by us on our computer. By screen recording we can better describe/demonstrate our tutorial which is some how related to computer products or services. And by our screencasted video we can spread our tutorial in easy and fast way.
Today, I am going to share some great collection of screencasting (screen recording) software which are free to use and easy to handle. Here are the10 best screen recording software.
