Record with Kaltura Capture and upload to My Media

To start a recording, click the red button. When you want to finish, click on the gray button, if you want to pause, click on the red button with two vertical white lines.

(The image shows the red button you click to start recording.)

(The image shows the gray button you click to end the recording and the red button with two white bars to pause the recording.)

Once you have recorded, you can name the file, save and upload directly to My Media in Canvas or choose to save only to upload later. All your recordings that you have made with Kaltura Capture can be found in your Kaltura Capture Library after you have saved them.

(The image shows how in the tool Kaltura Capture you name, save and upload or just save to upload later.)

(The picture shows the Kaltura Capture Library where all saved recordings are, as well as the Upload button for the recordings that have not been uploaded to My Media in Canvas.)

Under My Media in Canvas, the uploaded file is now visible. It may take some time before the file can be viewed even though you have received a message that it has been uploaded, this is because the conversion to different formats is still in progress.

Good to keep in mind when using the Kaltura Capture tool

• Best suited for use if you are uploading media to My Media in Canvas without editing in another tool.
• Possible to record several sources simultaneously such as screen, webcam and audio. The recording from your screen and webcam is saved as separate files on your computer. Both files contain the audio that was recorded. When uploading to My Media, a video is created with the option to choose which source should be in focus during playback.
