What is Commenting?

Commenting allows the content owner and their viewers to have a two way conversation concerning a piece of content. When commenting is turned on, viewers who come to see your content will be able to post a comment or a reply to a comment via the Comments tab on the view page.

  • People who wish to comment will need to enter their name and an email address. the email address will not show in the comments.
  • People who have a Screecast.com account may sign in. When signed in, the name and email address fields are automatically filled in for them.

  • The commenting option must be applied to individual pieces of content located within the library or in a folder.
  • You cannot apply the commenting option to content in a playlist.
  • The commenting option is disabled by default when you upload your content to Screencast.com.
