So what’s the best screen recording software?

If I want to record a quick video and send it to a friend I use Screencast-o-matic. I

can just log in to my account, record the video, save it online and then send the

link to my friend.

I use Quicktime if I want to record my iPhone screen. I simply plug the phone into

my MAC computer then begin recording the screen.

I primarily use Screenflow for recording longer videos. I can easily edit the videos

by adding text, music, call-outs and transitions. After I’ve nished editing the

video I can simply upload to YouTube.
