How to Vlog

While Screencast-O-Matic serves as a useful tool in recording video blogs using a computer with a built-in camera, you can achieve the same results using a cell phone with a camera.  Here are a few pros and cons to consider.

Pros:

• You don't need to be in front of a computer to post a vlog.  You can just shoot the video selfie-style.
•  You don't need to download software.

Cons:

• After uploading from a cell phone, the video image appears as a vertical rectangle with black borders filling in the left and right sides of the screen.
• Holding the camera with your hand can make the video shaky.  Solution: Prop the camera up on a table.  Problem:  But finding a table tall enough to prop a camera on so that you don't have to squat or kneel on the ground to be seen, as well as selecting a nice background makes for a difficult combination.
