Are you referring to http://screencast-o-matic.com/getappdownload
for its EXE? If so, then I am using that.
Yes, that was what I was referring to. :-)
But it is trying to phone home ? In that case, it is possible it tries to check for an update -- yes, without your explicit say-so. I don't like that behaviour either. Although it is possible that you can disable it in the settings somewhere.
Yeah, but it wanted more after that like encoding videos (not
uploading). I e-mailed the company, but never got an answer. :/
Its also possible that the program, just like Win10, "just" wants to gather some "metrics" from you. Its the price you are supposed to be willing to pay for "free" stuff (in other words: don't expect other current software to behave differently).
If you're lucky the reason for the programs need to go online is described
in the programs documentation and/or EULA ...
:(
