Chicago, Illinois, United States
What it is
Castify combines browser-based screen recording, video editing, sharing, and AI tools for educators, teams, trainers, and creators. Screencastify can capture a browser tab, desktop, webcam, voice, or combinations of them. Castify Edit can remove silences, reorder clips, create captions and voiceovers, and enhance video using AI. Submit organizes video submissions around prompts and deadlines, with in-video comments, feedback, and completion tracking. Submit AI can generate assignment instructions and rubrics, suggest grades, and deliver personalized feedback. Transform turns videos into how-to guides, bug reports, study materials, and custom documents with screenshots and timestamps. Listed integrations include Google Drive, Google Slides, Gmail, Outlook, Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and YouTube for EDU. The browser extension is available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The free plan allows up to 10 videos, 30 minutes per video, and five members. Starter costs $7 per user per month when billed annually.
