Using a custom domain (CNAME)
Using a custom domain
With a Team plan, you can use Screencast-O-Matic to host your content and configure it as a subdomain (example: videos.mysite.com). To do this, you will need to own or register a domain.
Step 1: Purchase/Register a Domain
There are many sites where you can register a custom domain. Some popular sites are GoDaddy, A2, Google Domains, and Namecheap.
Step 2: Add your custom domain information in Screencast-O-Matic content hosting
Alright! You have your domain registered and the access URL created–now let's add it to your hosting settings.
- After logging as Solo Premier or Team Admin to your Screencast-O-Matic account, visit your Video Content Hosting Settings.
- Under "Video Portal", click on "Request SSL Certificate"
This will start to process of requesting the SSL certificate and securing your CNAME with Screencast-O-Matic. This will take up to an hour to complete the process.
Step 3: Configuring CNAME records with your domain registrar/hosting provider
Enter your new domain to be used to access your Screencast-O-Matic team account.
We will provide you with a URL to use for your hostname.
You will need to log in with your domain registrar to make DNS modifications. Every registrar is different and you may need to refer to additional support materials to make these modifications. This is typically under "Manage DNS" settings in your control center on your registrar site.
