Add screencasts to Knowledge Base articles

A screencast is a video or animation of what's displayed on a computer screen. You can add a screencast to a Knowledge Base article to demonstrate the step-by-step instructions that are given.

• Try to present Firefox in its most familiar form.
  • Use as many default settings as possible.
  • Use the default Firefox theme.
  • Use the default operating system theme.
• Lower the screen resolution or do not capture the entire screen, so it will fit in the browser window.
• Make sure there's enough context to know what the image is of.
• If speaking, make sure you speak clearly.
• Don't add unrelated background music – it may annoy some users.
• Screencasts should only be applied to step-by-step instructions.

Do not create screencasts that are larger than 640x480. Otherwise, only a portion of the video will be viewable.

On Windows, How-To Geek has a great article on recording your screen, and, of course, there are plenty of videos on YouTube on how to create a screencast.

Tips for creating screencasts:

• As with screenshots, it's best to create a separate demo profile, so you a) know that you're using the default setup, and b) aren't broadcasting any private information from your main profile.
• Record a rough walkthrough of the screencast, so you know what you materials you need to set up for the main recording.
• Write a script before recording.
• Try to speak more slowly and clearly than you normally do.
