Camtasia and Dailies can both turn a meeting into something shorter, by opposite means. Camtasia, by TechSmith, is a desktop screen recorder and video editor for tutorials, training and how-to videos: you record or import, then you edit, with control over every cut. For a meeting, its own page describes importing the recording made by the platform and clipping it by editing its transcript. Dailies is a Chrome extension that records the Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom call itself and delivers up to eight captioned vertical shorts a few minutes after it ends. One is an editor you work in, the other does the cutting for you.
Checked against Camtasia’s own site on October 1, 2026.

Camtasia is TechSmith’s desktop screen recorder and video editor for Windows and macOS, used for tutorials, training and how-to videos. It is now presented as a suite: the Camtasia editor, Snagit for image capture and guides, Audiate for AI tools and text-based editing, Camtasia Online, an online recorder, and Screencast for hosting. Its recorder captures screen, camera and audio as independent layers. Any video file can be imported; for meetings, a dedicated Zoom integration pulls cloud recordings into the editor, and a Teams or Webex recording is downloaded as a file and dragged in. In Audiate, deleting words in the transcript ripples to the timeline, filler words and hesitations are detected and removed, and dynamic, social-media-style captions are created in dozens of languages and dialects. Camtasia also offers AI background removal with replacement by an image or a dynamic background, AI avatars, translation and dubbing, cursor effects, blur tools to redact areas of the screen, and templates.
Camtasia’s page on meeting recordings starts from the recording the platform made: a dedicated Zoom integration pulls cloud recordings into the editor, and a Teams or Webex recording is downloaded as an MP4 or WMV file and dragged in. We found no description of Camtasia recording a call itself on the pages we read. Dailies is the recorder: in Chrome, it captures the tab of your Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom call, your microphone and your webcam, the webcam on a track of its own. No bot joins the call.
In Camtasia, you do. Its meeting page presents text-based editing as the fastest way to clip a long meeting into short training assets: you work through the transcript and delete what you do not want. We found no automatic selection of passages on the pages we read. Dailies picks by itself: up to eight passages per call, each with a line above it that says which question it answers.
Camtasia has tools for the clean-up and the captions: Audiate detects and removes filler words and hesitations, and creates dynamic captions in the style of social media. You apply them yourself, in a desktop editor and its companion app. A vertical 9:16 output and reframing on the speaker are not stated on the pages we read. Dailies applies everything without being asked: silences, filler words and false starts cut, each short reframed in 9:16 on whoever speaks, animated captions burned in.
Screen recordings for tutorials, a full timeline editor, any imported video file, cursor effects, templates and themes, AI avatars, translation and dubbing, image capture and guides with Snagit, hosting on Screencast. Dailies does none of that: it does not edit a video you upload and records no screen walkthrough. It only makes shorts from the calls it recorded, downloaded in Full HD.
Its page on meeting recordings describes editing the recording the platform made, not recording the call: a dedicated Zoom integration pulls cloud recordings into the editor, and a Teams or Webex recording is downloaded as a file and dragged in. Camtasia’s own recorder captures screen, camera and audio; we found no description of it recording a call on the pages we read. Dailies records Meet, Teams and Zoom calls itself, from Chrome.
Yes, in Audiate, part of the Camtasia suite. It detects and removes filler words and hesitations, deleting words in the transcript edits the timeline, and it creates dynamic captions in the style of social media, in dozens of languages and dialects. We did not read the list of languages, so French is not confirmed.
The Camtasia pages we read do not say: a vertical 9:16 output and reframing on the speaker are not stated there, and we did not check its export presets. Its meeting page describes clipping a long meeting by hand, through text-based editing, into short training assets. Dailies delivers 9:16 shorts reframed on whoever speaks.
No. Dailies records no screen walkthrough and does not edit a video you upload: it makes shorts from the calls you hold in Chrome on Meet, Teams or Zoom. For a tutorial, a training video or a how-to, a screen recorder and editor such as Camtasia is the right kind of tool.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
