Etymology
The terms "screencast," "screencam" and "screen recording" are often used interchangeably, due to the market influence of ScreenCam as a screencasting product of the early 1990s. ScreenCam, however, is a federal trademark in the United States, whereas screencast is not trademarked and has established use in publications as part of Internet and computing vernacular. Screen recording is now the most generic term.
