What is a Screencast Explainer Video?
A screencast explainer video is a type of video that records your computer screen (or mobile device) while showing how a software, app, website, or tool works. It is usually paired with voiceover narration, on-screen highlights, and callouts to guide viewers step by step.
Unlike animated or cartoon videos, screencast videos show the real interface, making them perfect for tutorials, demos, and training.
