Polymny Studio. An ideal free tool for making educational videos

Last updated on 12 February 2025

Are you a teacher or trainer, but not a great computer expert? Polymny Studio is made for you. This free and free tool allows you to make educational videos with ease.

The application has just been updated. Upgraded to version 2, it now offers a series of improvements making its use even more convenient and efficient. Focus on this important update.

Polymny meets a real need to digitize your courses and trainings. This real web studio provides a tool for making pedagogical videos that allows the teacher to focus on the content rather than spending their time taming the tool.

Digitising your courses has never been easier

Among the multitude oftools for making presentation videos or course capsules, Polymny Studio has three major advantages: it is free, easy to use, and offers a free plan that is generous enough for many users.

Let us add that it is a cooperative society and therefore the company belongs to those who work there. We're a long way from the Gafams.

From an existing presentation (free office, PowerPoint, etc.), simply provide the slides of your course or presentation in PDF format to be able to record a pedagogical video for your students, students or colleagues via the microphone and webcam of your computer. There is nothing to install, Polymny Studio works from a simple browser.

Simple options for quality video capsules

Register quickly on Polymny and get started. You must start by uploading your presentation in PDF format. Then you can record through your webcam one board at a time. You will finally have to add the recordings on the boards, and combine them into a single video ready to be broadcast and shared.

 

Polymny Studio offers some interesting options such as a built-in prompter. You can thus have the text of your speech on the screen when you record it and make it look more natural about you.

When editing your video, you can insert additional videos to complement or dress up your production with a jingle, credits, logo or screencast …

To avoid monotony, you also have the possibility to change the place and size of your reel on the screen when you change slides. You can also remove your head and keep only the sound.

Note that the application offers on its website a whole series of Video Tutorials to take over all the richness of the software.

Polymny V2: More functions for a better experience

Version 2 adds several new features, making this web studio even more efficient.

We're not going to name them all here. Here is my selection:

• Possibility to add background music to your presentation. Choose one Royalty-Free Audio Resource to give a sound climate to your capsule.
• Fixed the content of the prompter in real time.
• New functions for the virtual green background.
• Better integration of the pointer when recording.

No technical expertise needed

No editing, compression or conversion of video files. Polymny automatically stores the capsules you create. Then simply share your videos by email or on social networks through a unique URL link.

You can also share them on most training platforms like Moodle.
