Record, Edit, Share Videos with Soapbox Extension for Chrome Browser

There are tons of expensive software that not only cost a lot of money, but are really huge in terms of installation files. For example, the popular Cyberlink Power Director is around 1 GB in size and it costs $100. Obviously a software like Cyberlink Power Director does deliver in terms of features and the quality, but if you are not willing to part with your hard earned money and willing to sacrifice the video quality, then you can use the free Soapbox extension for the Google Chrome web browser.

The Soapbox extension is developed by Wistia and can record both your webcam and your computer screen. This makes it an ideal choice if you are trying to make videos trying to explain something. The webcam and the screen are placed side by side in the videos. But you have the options to play only the webcam, only the screen, or both. The videos created in this way are automatically uploaded to the Wistia website from where you can share them with other people.
