Questions, answered

Does it change who can view a hosted item?

No. WebRun only reads and reports on view counts. Any change to sharing or privacy settings is still made by you in Screencast.com.

What counts as most-viewed?

Whichever hosted video or image had the highest view count that week, based on Screencast.com's own numbers.

Can it track more than one folder or library?

Yes, it covers every video and image in your Screencast.com account, not just a single folder.
