Creating screencasts
You’re free to choose any tool to create screencasts. It’s important, that you provide an .mp4 video of appropriate quality (resolution and presentation).
Recent browsers should be able to play your video.
Your screencast should only show the reported bug +/- 10 seconds – try to avoid screencasts that are longer than 1 minute. You should have the sounds switched off unless required for the report.
