Help me bros.. Creating screencasts 100% from the browser?

[dreamache]

Ideally I'd want something that allows me to click record, it'll record the audio (html5 can record audio), but also capture the mouse movements over the browser so I can point to specific areas while talking. Once I'm done over the course of a minute or two, click a button and bam; done. No other steps required. No sitting there waiting for video to render, no uploading to FTP, etc.. It should happen automatically via the server.

I'm sure an API like this probably doesn't exist, but I'm curious if the tech. is possible at this point.

I already have camtasia, but would prefer this to be browser based.

I use this: Screencast-O-Matic - Free online screen recorder for instant screen capture video sharing.

I record lots of internal videos for other teams and assistants. I like that my mouse is highlighted and when I click it's very obvious. Totally free.

I'll PM you a sample video.

Thanks, yeah I was hoping for something that I could impliment on my own site, that could be integrated via API - but yeah, that's as close as it gets apparently.

Looks like they offer an API too, though they charge $99 a month for it and limit you to 2500 screencasts storage; though I'd hope through the API you can store it on your own server. I'll look into it, thx.
