The Screencastify extension is very simple to navigate. There are four places within the extension that you'll become familiar with:

1. Recording Control Panel
2. Main Menu
3. Video Management Page
4. My Videos

Recording Control Panel

The Recording Control Panel is the first thing that pops up whenever you open the Screencastify extension. From the Recording Control Panel, you can choose your screencast settings and record your browser tab, entire desktop, or webcam. Click here to learn how to record with Screencastify.
