Overview

MSU has a site license with TechSmith for Camtasia and Snagit allowing faculty, staff and students to download the popular screenshot and video editing software at no additional cost.

Snagit - Capture screenshots, even when the page scrolls, for vibrant teaching content. Add your own arrows, text, and more, to get your point across. Record quick videos (even your webcam) to share with your students.

Camtasia - Record video lessons showing your screen, PowerPoint, webcam, or bring in footage from your camera or the web. Edit it the way you want, with animations, music, and more. Add quizzes and captions, too.

Getting the Software

There are different ways to get the software depending on your machine:

Centrally-managed Devices (via MEMCM (Windows) or Jamf (macOS))

If your device is registered through MEMCM or Jamf, you can get the software through the Software Center (MEMCM) or Self Service (Jamf). Open the appropriate application and then search for the software you need (Camtasia and/or SnagIt).

One benefit of using this method is that you do not need to have local Admin permissions on the device you're installing on.

Not Centrally-managed Devices

If your device is not registered with MEMCM or Jamf, you can get the software by either:

  • Self-enrolling and completing this linked D2L course; or
  • Downloading from MSU OnTheHub
