And Llama 3.1 Sonar (from Perplexity.ai) ideas for Screenshot tools for events:

– Virtual Event Onboarding: Teams can use screen recording tools to create personalized onboarding videos for attendees. These videos can include step-by-step instructions on how to navigate the event platform, access sessions, and interact with other participants. This helps ensure that everyone is comfortable and ready to engage from the start.

– Interactive Demos: Screen recording tools can be used to create interactive demos that allow attendees to explore features of a product or service in real-time. By embedding clickable links or hotspots within the recorded video, attendees can jump directly to specific sections of the demo for more detailed information.

– Async Meeting Summaries: After an asynchronous meeting, teams can use screen recording tools to create concise summaries of key discussions and decisions. These summaries can include annotated recordings of important slides, notes taken during the meeting, and action items assigned to team members.

– External Demo Showcases: For external demos aimed at potential clients or partners, teams can leverage screen recording tools to create polished presentations that highlight product capabilities. These recordings can be shared via email or embedded in websites for easy access.

– Training Sessions: Screen recording tools are invaluable for creating training sessions that can be accessed at any time by new employees or team members. These sessions can cover everything from software tutorials to company policies and procedures. By making these resources available asynchronously, teams ensure that everyone has equal access to necessary information without disrupting regular workflows.

For my personal experience working by myself and with a team, my recommendations for screen recording tools are:

Focusee – Local, Fast, One Time Pricing

I love this one since it’s all local (no web UI), they have Mac and Windows versions, and the zooming is pretty solid. I’ve used this to record 50+ videos now, and it took my editing time to near-zero.

Yes, this is ranked above Screen Studio for me. If you’re a team with Mixed devices (Windows + Macs), or work with freelancers, it’s challenging to have the Screenstudio limitation of 1 operating system. Focusee avoids that problem. (But, the file formats seem to differ when saved on Windows vs. Mac.)

My fav 3 things:

1. I can change how my cursor looks after recording
2. I can make simple cuts/timeline editing is not bloated
3. Backgrounds can be swapped.

Tella.tv – Online Cinematic Screen Recording

1 word – ANIMATED BACKGROUNDS. (ok, that was 2 words.) This really takes any screen recording to the next level imho.

Right out of the box, you can make the most eye catching screen recording online. Everything can be handled with their Web UI (no app downloads needed). You can download their Mac app if needed.

It’s just simple – Press record, swap out background, and change layouts as needed. Imo, best SaaS option for screen capture.

Check out their free trial here.

My favourite 3 features:

1. Team editing (fast) – No uploads/downloads needed to edit
2. Animated backgrounds/screen borders
3. Layout transitions are gorgeous out of the box.

Screen Studio – The Classic Screen Recorder

I’ve followed Screenstudio for a long time, and many many creators I follow use it. They have a sleek website and the product UI is pretty solid, but compared to Tella, I’m not sure it wins for team usage. (Need to upload/store the .screenstudio files somewhere.)

If your whole team is on Mac, and you have a solid filesharing/media library, it’s a great choice.

The upside? Tella costs monthly, ScreenStudio costs one time. (with 1 year of updates.)

Check it out here.

My fav 3 features:

1. It looks great
2. The creator is active on X/posts updates
3. The roadmap has some exciting features.
