By default, Screencastify will count down from three, both visually and audibly, before every recording begins. This is designed to help you prepare for your recording and provide confirmation that your recording has successfully started. ⭐️
Edit the countdown
You can shorten, lengthen, or turn off the countdown from the extension pop-up
- Click on the extension in the top right corner of your browser
- The countdown timer is already displayed.
- To change the length of the countdown select the drop down displaying the number of seconds to choose your time preferences.
If you'd like to turn the countdown off select the toggle next to "Countdown". It will appear grey when turned off.
