Dailies vs ScreenPalThe ScreenPal alternative when the video you want is a short from a client call
ScreenPal and Dailies both record, with different videos in mind. ScreenPal is a screen recorder, a video editor and a hosting platform, used mostly for tutorials, training and classroom videos: you record your screen, your webcam or both, then cut and arrange the result in its editor. Dailies is a Chrome extension that records the calls you hold on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom and delivers, a few minutes later, up to eight captioned vertical shorts cut from their best passages. With ScreenPal you make a lesson. With Dailies, a call you were holding anyway becomes shorts for a feed.

What ScreenPal does
ScreenPal is a screen recorder, video editor and hosting platform. Its recorder runs on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and Chromebook, with an online recorder and a Chrome extension: it captures the screen, the webcam, or both with the webcam as a picture-in-picture overlay, and microphone audio. Its recorder page lists virtual events, live webinars, video meetings and calls among what you can record, and a Zoom integration turns Zoom meeting recordings and webinars into shareable lessons. The editor cuts, trims, crops and resizes, with a cropper for a video’s shape, size or orientation; files can be imported. ScreenPal blurs, replaces or removes the webcam background, generates captions from speech, translates titles, summaries and captions into over 140 languages, and removes silences automatically, a feature listed among its paid upgrades. Its AI writes titles, summaries, chapters and quiz questions. Videos are saved to your device, uploaded to ScreenPal or YouTube, or shared elsewhere. Its interface exists in eight languages, French included.
Where Dailies and ScreenPal differ
A call captured as a screen, or recorded track by track
ScreenPal can record a call the way it records anything on a screen: its recorder page lists video meetings and calls among its uses, as a screen capture you start yourself, and its Zoom integration works from Zoom’s own recordings. Its webcam is described as a picture-in-picture overlay; a separate track is not stated. Dailies records the tab of your Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom call, your microphone and your webcam, the webcam on a track of its own. Neither sends a bot into the call.
Who chooses and frames the passages
In ScreenPal, you do: its editor cuts, trims and crops, and a cropper sets the shape, size or orientation of the video. We found no automatic selection of passages and no reframing on the speaker on the pages we read. Dailies picks up to eight passages per call by itself and reframes each in 9:16 on whoever speaks: your webcam, or your guest’s tile cropped on their face.
Tutorials on one side, shorts on the other
ScreenPal’s own editor page says it is best for screen recordings such as tutorials, product demos and training videos, and names another editor as best for short-form social content such as TikTok, Reels or YouTube Shorts. Dailies sits on the other side of that line: it makes nothing but shorts for LinkedIn, TikTok, Reels or Shorts, with animated captions burned in and silences, filler words and false starts cut out.
What ScreenPal does that Dailies does not
Screen recording on computers, phones, tablets and Chromebooks, a full manual editor, imported files, quizzes, hosting, AI voice-over, a video generator from a text prompt, slides turned into video, a stock library, and titles, summaries and chapters written by AI. Dailies does none of that: it records no tutorial, does not edit a video you upload, and only makes shorts from the calls it recorded in Chrome.
Questions people ask
Can ScreenPal record a Zoom or Google Meet call?
Yes, as a screen recording you start yourself: its recorder page lists video meetings and calls, live webinars and virtual events among what it records. It also has a Zoom integration that turns Zoom meeting recordings and webinars into shareable lessons, and lists a Microsoft Teams integration. The pages we read do not state a separate track for the webcam. Dailies records Meet, Teams and Zoom’s web client from Chrome, with your webcam on a track of its own.
Is ScreenPal made for TikTok, Reels or Shorts?
By its own account, it fits screen recordings better. Its editor page says ScreenPal is best for tutorials, product demos and training videos, and names another editor as best for short-form social content. Its editor does have a cropper that sets a video’s shape, size or orientation. Dailies makes only vertical 9:16 shorts, reframed on whoever speaks.
Does ScreenPal remove silences and add captions?
Yes for both, with details we could not confirm. Automatic silence removal is listed among its paid upgrade features; the removal of filler words is not stated on the pages we read. ScreenPal generates captions from speech and translates them into over 140 languages; animated word-by-word styles are not stated.
Is Dailies a ScreenPal alternative for tutorials?
No. Dailies records no screen tutorial and has no quiz: it makes captioned vertical shorts from the calls you hold in Chrome on Meet, Teams or Zoom. For a tutorial, a lesson or a training video, a screen recorder such as ScreenPal is the right kind of tool.
Your next call already holds your next shorts.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
