How to publish to Screencast.com

Every Camtasia Relay Presenter (end user) needs a Screencast.com account. To obtain Screencast.com accounts, visit http://www.screencast.com. Accounts are not created via Camtasia Relay.

By default, presentations are stored in the Camtasia Relay folder on Screencast.com. Camtasia Relay Administrators can create multiple Screencast.com destinations for organizational purposes, and can also create multiple folders for Presenters. Presenters may also create their own folders on Screencast.com and assign them to their Profile.

Presenter accounts on Screencast.com

In most cases, Presenters will supply their own username and password.

To allow Presenters to supply their account information:

1.  Click the Profiles menu and select the Profile that will publish to Screencast.com.

2.  Check Camtasia Relay on Screencast.com from the Publish Settings list, and click Save.

3.  Click the Edit (pencil icon) button. Change Use default account to Use presenter account, and click Save.

To enter Presenter Screencast.com account information:

1.  Click Profiles > Publish Destinations.

2.  Select Camtasia Relay on Screencast.com (or another Screencast.com destination you may have created.)

3.  Click the Add default account link.

4.  Enter the Presenter’s email address used for Screencast.com and password. By default Camtasia Relay presentations go into the Camtasia Relay folder on Screencast.com. If you enter a different folder name, it is automatically created on Screencast.com.

Inform Presenters

Presentations will not be published until Presenters sign in to the Camtasia Relay website and enter their account information. Ideally, introduce Presenters to the Camtasia Relay website and have them enter their Screencast.com information before making recordings.

Presenters that make a recording and upload a presentation before the information is entered receive an email with a hyperlink and instructions to solve the problem. Solving the problem is a two-step process. First, the Presenter must enter their Screencast.com account information on the Camtasia Relay website. Next, re-submit the presentation for processing via the website.
