As a remote team spread in three countries, we needed a simple, fast and effective way to communicate.
We soon discovered that sending screenshots was much better than writing long emails: We reduced physical meetings and video conferencing to the minimum because we could review screen captures and reply on our own schedules. There were fewer back and forth emails because we were able to show each other our desktops and explain exactly what we were seeing or thinking.
Using screen captures to communicate was amazing but existing tools frustrated us:
We always had to wait for the videos to upload
Not all operating systems were supported
Some tools deleted our screencasts from the cloud
Other tools had too many options and settings
And so on...
So, we thought:
"Why isn't there a simple, straight-forward screen capture tool that lets you share screenshots instantly with anyone around the globe?"
That's how ScreenRec came to be.
