My school is using Screencastify. I have watched the videos here on Simple K12, but I am finding that it takes FOREVER to download my homemade videos. I have even kept them to less than 5 minutes. It has been taking hours for one to download. Has anyone else had difficulty with this?

A lot of it has to do with bandwidth. If you're on a good, strong internet connection, it shouldn't take long, but if you're on a network with a lot of users (cell, some school networks, etc), it will take longer. I'm not familiar with this app, but I know that I had similar issues with others. A trick I found useful (but doesn't work for all apps) is to condense the video, if it's an option. It won't be the highest quality, necessarily, but it shaves a lot of time uploading. Good luck!

I agree with you. For this reason, I have stopped using Screencastify.

Thank you for explaining about the Internet connection. I think that is the issue with my Screencastify not working. We usually have poor Internet connection where I live. I really appreciate your words of wisdom.

This information is so wonderful, keep updating these types of interesting posts. Thank you for sharing this with us.

It has to do with the bandwidth and other crazy tech stuff:-). Sometimes not worth it for a short video in my opinion.

that is amazing i love it.

I tend to make my videos in 4 min clips (my school district purchase the limited edition). I usually do not have that problem. I recently purchased the option to make longer videos so I will have to wait and see what happens.
