FAQ
Is there a free Screencastify alternative without an extension?
Yes. Screencastify is a Chrome extension that records to Google Drive. DemoZoom runs as a normal web page — no extension to install, nothing saved to Drive. You record locally and download an MP4. It's free.
Does DemoZoom have the free limits Screencastify has?
No 5-minute cap and no forced watermark fee. DemoZoom records up to 30 minutes and the optional watermark removes for free. Screencastify's free plan limits length and recordings per month.
Where do my recordings go?
Onto your own disk as an MP4. Screencastify uploads recordings to your Google Drive. DemoZoom processes everything locally with WebCodecs — nothing is uploaded, which you can verify in DevTools → Network.
