In the bottom half of the sidebar you will find the VIDEO section. If you want a screenshot, select from a Region, Visible (whole screen), or Scrolling (which enables you to get a screenshot of a, say, a full web page). Snagit can not only record video screencasts, but take screenshots. If you click that icon a sidebar will slide out ( Figure A). Once installed, you will find a new icon in your toolbar (a small white S in a black/blue gradient). Even though Chrome OS might well be one of the most user-friendly platforms on the planet, you might have web-based tools that aren’t so easy to use (tools that could greatly benefit from a screencast). Why is this important? Screencasts are a great tool to help train users. That all changes, with the likes of Snagit. Why has this been an issue? Because Chrome OS doesn’t support the Java plugin used by most of the available screencast tools. One feature that has been missing from Chrome OS, for quite some time, is the ability to take screencasts. Jack Wallen shows you how with the help of TechSmith Snagit. If you've been longing to get screencast videos from your Chromebook, wait no longer.
