Below are some tools that can help facilitate effective use of screencasts and video lessons.
Hold students accountable for watching the videos you assign! This tool allows you to embed questions into a video, disable students' ability to skip to the end of a video without watching it and view analytics for which students watched the video and how well they answered the questions.
Videos can be embedded directly into Schoology or linked from Seesaw. Students can login with Google to be added directly to your class!

This is a simple, powerful screen recording tool for creating screencast recordings on a Mac or PC. The free version will meet the needs of most teachers. The paid version is $15 per year and allows for storage and deeper editing of videos. There is a quick tutorial on the site's main webpage.
This is similar to Screencast-O-Matic, but it works on a Chromebook. It's a free Chrome extension that you can install on your Chrome toolbar. Because it works on a Chromebook, it's a great tool for your students to use. You can empower them to create tutorials of their own! This tool was detailed more completely in a previous tech tip as well.
If you are using Seesaw, you can record your instructions with the video recording feature built into this tool. For early learners, it is helpful to print a QR code to the video and post it in the room. Students scan the QR and are taken directly to your directions. This is a great way to clone yourself for station work!
