## Reviews

### "A practical but potential tool to record your screen" — 5.0/5

> **Benn** | *18 May 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Techsmith Capture is one of those software that you install and you stay with it for a long time, what I like the most is its installation and its interface, it installs quickly, it is not heavy, it is a small window that has a simple and intuitive menu, any person can learn to use it with a few minutes of learning, it's a little icon in the task bar, what I like is that I can record my screen with internal audio, microphone or just capture what I'm doing on my computer, I like that I can easily pause and resume what I'm recording as it has a floating button t that is accessible all the time.
> 
> **Cons**: What I don't like is that sometimes the session is closed on my laptop and I have to log in again, it is annoying when you want to record something fast on your screen, I have experienced a bug when opening the app to log in to the browser and then open the app, it's the only inconvenience I've had.
> 
> TechSmith Capture is a practical software to use, I use it to record my screen and make tutorials, I like that all the videos are uploaded to the cloud once they are finished, and I can access them from my browser by entering my screencast account, something What stands out is that I can organize my videos by date and by folder and thus have a better order of my files, I can share any video with just a link.

### "SNAGIT by TechSmith" — 5.0/5

> **Steve** | *16 June 2023* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy and flexibility of use for audio, presentations etc. You can do almost anything that comes to mind
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing it is easy to pickup and us we little to no training needed right out of the box and immediate use
> 
> I use it daily for many presentations of examples plus documentation

### "Nice but basic free screenshot tool" — 5.0/5

> **Yaniv** | *2 October 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's the free screenshot tool by Techsmith (the "young" brother of the mature "SnagIt")
> 
> **Cons**: The "Jing" tool (its predecessor) was more mature. In my opinion, the main disadvantage is the fact you need the tool to stay open (as a "dock" app) instead it being running in the background, waiting for a shortcut to "bring it alive".
> 
> I used it to take screenshots for visualizing problems when opening tickets for R\&D

### "The Devs Figured This Out" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *27 May 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The review system on this site lacked more stars for Value for Money\! I don’t have much time to “figure it out” this software out of the box is built for those with a busy schedule, and the software figures it out. Is it perfect? Well, nothing is. But I’ll give it a 99% out of 100%. By far, the best software and the most economical price are offered. You get what you pay for, but sometimes you stumble across something that you didn’t pay enough for, yet it still blows other products out of the water. This is one of those products\! I’ve used this product for years. It is the EASIEST/Self-started software that I’ve come across, and not sure there is a competitor in the business that offers what you offer with ease of use system-wise.
> 
> **Cons**: Could never figure out how to fully remove the black space around the video.
> 
> I oversee, some as CEO and some as only a board member,  moving forward, never worrying about our competition as we were too busy obtaining market share to worry. As a C-Level executive, I’m the guy you might email once or twice, as I might have missed the point with the hundreds of emails each day. My job as a CEO boils down to making 2-3 good decisions each day. Doing that keeps the companies moving forward with swift execution that in our markets we operate in, excel at obtaining market share. It helps to be on page 1 of googling for our industries organically. Camtasia helps us accomplish that goal\! Thanks for all you do, TechSmithDevs \& Team\! \#HappyCustomer\!

### "TechSmith User Review" — 4.0/5

> **John** | *28 March 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: it's best feature is how easy it is to use.  Tutorial is not required.
> 
> **Cons**: It has a limited amount of edit features in the version we use for screen grabs.
> 
> I use TechSmith often.  It is very user friendly and allows me to quickly present and highlight important information for our customers and brand partners.  It is a go to for us.
