ScreenCastify is a great new extension I read about on Richard Byrne's FreeTech4Teachers Blog. It is a tool that installs an icon in your browser that will allow you to easily capture a screencast of what is happening in one of the windows of Chrome. It will even work with Chromebooks! (Note: Your version of Chrome must be at least version 32 or higher.)
I played around with the tool a little bit and the video it grabbed was pretty good. The sound was a little soft, but if I talked a bit louder it would not be a problem. It offers an option to download the video, which was in a strange format I did not have a player for, but it does also offer an easy YouTube export feature. If you are logged into Chrome it will send the video to your YouTube account, which you can then use to share the video with a link or embed it onto your website.
There is a quick video below that shows you how it works.
