Last week I reviewed Screenjelly, a service that allows you to create screencasts that can be sent to Twitter. This week there’s a new kid on the block, Screenr, so I thought I’d give it a whirl to see how the two compared. A lot like Screenjelly, Screenr allows you to quickly and easily create screencasts which can be sent to Twitter.
BUT, Screenr also allows you to download your screencasts and upload them to YouTube. Another feature Screenr is ahead with is allowing you to resize the recording window. Screenjelly only allows you to record your entire screen…and that doesn’t make for a very pretty screencast.
Screenjelly allows you to keep your videos private, but Screenr doesn’t currently seem to have any privacy settings, except to just delete a video. So if I create a video that I want to keep in my account for future reference, I have to also share it with the Screenr community.
Both services seem to have certain features that are missing from one, but present in the other. Most important to me? I’d like to see both products add better privacy settings.
To see Screenr in action, watch the screencast below (best viewed in HD in full screen):
