A Screencast versus a Screenshot
Simply put, a **Screencast** is a movie (with or without narration) of your computer screen going through an operation. A **Screenshot** is a still image of your computer screen. Often, screenshots may find themselves surrounded by text narration, either in a word processing program or on a web page. However, many of the same processes and best practices apply to both techniques.
