An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Record product demos and customer support walkthroughs without paying for a screen recording subscription
- Share quick video feedback with clients or staff, keeping footage private on your own machine
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use. Anything you distribute that includes it must be open-sourced under the same licence.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Install it from the Chrome Web Store, or download the latest Build.zip from the releases page, unzip it and load it as an unpacked extension in Chrome's developer mode.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Licence is GPL-3.0 since version 3.0.0, so building a commercial product from it needs care
- Self-hosted version is local-only; link sharing and some features need the paid Screenity Pro
- Google Drive saving needs you to set up your own Google Cloud credentials when self-hosting
- Works only in Chrome-based browsers
