TechSmith now brands Snagit as Camtasia Snagit, part of its Camtasia suite, and includes it in every Camtasia plan2,3.

In short

It records webcam, microphone and system audio, trims clips, and shares by link or through Screencast2,3. The catch: there is no free version beyond a 15-day trial, and it runs only on Windows and macOS1,4.

Best for: People who mix screenshots and short screen videos for guides and feedback.
