The big news: SUMO now supports screencasts! A screencast is a video recording of a computer screen. In the same way that images of a computer screen (i.e. screenshots) are helpful in illustrating what Firefox support instructions are referring to, screencasts go a step further by showing users what the actions of those instructions look like.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/files\/2009\/06\/screencasts1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-648\" title=\"screencasts1\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/files\/2009\/06\/screencasts1.png\" alt=\"screencasts1\" width=\"450\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/files\/2009\/06\/screencasts1.png 450w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/files\/2009\/06\/screencasts1-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Firefox 3.0.x users will be able to view screencasts in Flash format, but we also support the open video format called Ogg\/Theora.

Adding a screencast to an article can be done by anyone! (That means you!) We have provided a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.com\/kb\/Adding+screencasts\">tutorial on adding screencasts to the knowledge base<\/a>, with a list of software you can use to create them. Adding of screencasts is fully integrated with the article editor; so if you know <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.com\/kb\/Editing+articles\">how to edit a knowledge base article<\/a>, you know how to add a screencast. If you need any help adding screencasts, you can always ask in the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.com\/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=3\">Contributors forum<\/a>. And the next time you&#8217;re having trouble explaining something about how to use Firefox, you&#8217;ll be able to show them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, the fixes for SUMO 1.1 were applied to support.mozilla.com.
