Josh Holmes, a RIA Architect Evangelist from Microsoft, stopped in our offices recently and told me about how he did some remote screencasting with Camtasia Studio! Since Josh is doing something different and new, he's the Screencast of the Week!

How'd he do it? Well, Josh's interviewee records what they're doing with Camtasia Studio on their end and also shares their screen with Josh via Live Meeting. Josh uses this nifty little phone recorder which he plugs into the microphone input jack on his computer. Then Josh uses Audacity to record the audio. Note that the phone recorder does not have a level indicator so you need to watch the levels when recording. Then, Josh gets the screencast from his interviewee and in Camtasia Studio, he merges the video with audio.

Want to see the screencast he created? Check out the episode of Code To Live on Channel9 here.

I'm looking forward to seeing Josh at Microsoft Mix this week where he'll be helping out in the Open Spaces area. Did you have any questions for him? I'm happy to ask him when I see him.

And, I've ordered one of the phone recorders too. Any volunteers to try remote screencasting with me to share your story?
