Issue:

Autodesk will cease support of Autodesk Screencast on January 31, 2023. Autodesk can’t make recommendations for replacement software, as your team and management will have to decide on the tool that best meets your use cases. But if you’re a casual or part-time screen recording practitioner, consider Slack or Zoom for recording audio and video clips. Just as you did with Autodesk Screencast, you can use Slack or Zoom to share product ideas and perform problem solving with your team.
 

Solution:

Recording with Slack

Here are the basic steps to record video clips with Slack. For complete information, such as methods for enhancing your clips, see Using Slack in the Slack Help Center.
  1. From a Slack channel or direct message, click the camera icon in the message box.
  2. Click Record.
  3. When you’ve finished, click Stop Recording.
  4. Click Download to download the entire video (optionally, you can first select only a thumbnail to download).
  5. Share your video.
Note: Slack video clips are limited to five minutes in length.
 

Recording with Zoom

Here are the basic steps to record video clips from a Zoom meeting. For complete information, see Getting Started with Recording on Zoom.
  1. Start a Zoom meeting as the host.
  2. If you want to include an application or document on your desktop, be sure to click Share Screen.
  3. Click Record and select either Record on this Computer or Record to the Cloud.
  4. When you’ve finished, click Stop Recording.
  5. Click End to end the meeting.
  6. You’ll see a dialog that informs you that the recording is in the process of being converted. Wait until the conversion is finished.
  7. You can find the recording in your Zoom folder.
