A screencast is a video or animated image of what is displayed on a computer screen to show readers what the instructions in Knowledge Base articles are telling them.

Before you create a screencast

  • 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.

Add your screencast to an article

Once you've uploaded your video to YouTube, you can add it to a new article (see Create a new Knowledge Base article) or to an existing article (see Edit a Knowledge Base article).

Use the following syntax to add the screencast to the article content:

[[Video:URL]]

For example: [[Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXs_YE9QyUQ]]
