In their own words
Knovio
Knovio is an online platform for creating, hosting, managing, delivering, and measuring video and multimedia presentations; the site says it is rebranding to OE Stream under a new name. Users can record video or audio narration alongside slides, sync slides with existing video, and add media clips, quizzes, and chapter navigation. Presentations can be grouped into branded showcases with customized layouts and registration pages. Sharing options include customized links and website embeds, while registration forms and approved guest lists can restrict viewing. Analytics cover performance by video, account, author, and collection, and can include quiz results. Knovio Lite is free forever for up to three videos or presentations, each up to seven minutes. Extra Lite storage is available in one-hour increments for 9.95 USD as a one-time upgrade. Student plans include Student Annual at $5 a month billed annually, Student Semester at $7 a month billed every six months, and Student Monthly at $10 a month billed monthly. The site presents Knovio for learning and development, HR, customer education, internal communications, onboarding, partner development, and training.
ShowCam
ShowCam records presentation material, a camera bubble, and narration together in one video on iOS. It supports photo slideshows, videos, interactive web pages, PDFs, Markdown files, and text files. During recording, you can move through slides, scrub videos, tap links, scroll web pages, and use a laser pointer. The camera bubble can use either camera, while narration is mixed with app audio in sync. Recordings remain in the app library, can be saved automatically to Photos, and can be shared. The free plan permits 30 minutes of recording per day, resetting at midnight, and includes all listed presentation sources, both cameras, laser pointer, saving and sharing, and no watermark. Pro adds unlimited recording, markup tools, background effects, camera styling, and no ads. Pro costs $4.99 a month billed weekly, $24.99 a year, or $29.99, paid once. ShowCam records only content opened inside it, not other apps.
