How to use Berrycast

Getting started with Berrycast is designed to be a straightforward, three-step process:

1. Launch and Record: Simply open the Berrycast screen recorder on your Windows or Mac computer. Click the 'Record' button to start capturing your screen, your webcam (as a bubble overlay), or both simultaneously. You can talk over your recording to provide narration and context.
2. Enhance and Clarify: Once your recording is complete, you can add more clarity and context. Use annotation tools to highlight key areas on the screen, or trim the video to remove unnecessary parts. The platform automatically generates a shareable link as soon as you finish recording.
3. Share and Collaborate: Share the generated link with colleagues, clients, or stakeholders via email, messaging apps, or by embedding it directly into your project management tools. Viewers can leave time-stamped comments and even reply with their own videos, facilitating swift feedback and accelerating decision-making processes.
