If you need to record what is happening on your computer screen, then it is not at all necessary to resort to the help of special programs for creating screencasts. Today we'll show you how to do this using YouTube.
YouTube is an extremely useful tool in the right hands. We have already told you how to create a beautiful slideshow using this service, edit a video and even transcribe an audio recording. And today we want to add one more tip to your piggy bank, with the help of which you can record and immediately upload a screencast to YouTube without any additional tools.
- Log in to YouTube with your Google account. Click on the "Add Video" button in the upper right corner.
-
On the new page on the right, you will see the Live Streams block. Click on the "Start" button. If this is the first time you do this, the service will ask you to confirm your phone number.
How to record a screencast: Start button -
Now you need to go to the page for creating a new broadcast. You can do this by selecting the "All broadcasts" section on the left, and then clicking on "Schedule a new broadcast". Or just go to.
How to record a screencast: create a new broadcast -

How to record a screencast: limiting access -
A window with the name Google Hangouts will appear in front of you. In it, you need to click on the "Show Screen" button in the left pop-up panel. You will then be prompted to select full screen recording mode or one of the open applications in which you want to capture events.
How to record a screencast: Google Hangouts - Click the Start Broadcast button. The recording will start from the screen of your computer, but, of course, no one will see it, because you have previously set up restricted access to the broadcast.
After the end of the recording, you can close the Google Hangouts window and go to the YouTube video manager, where you will find the video you created. Here you can edit it if necessary, and then post it, share it on social networks or send it by email.
This method is useful for those users who need to record a training video, demonstrate a problem or its solution, but there are no special screencasting tools at hand.
