 Starting Kaltura Capture and Making Your Recording

  1. The first time you launch Kaltura Capture, it needs to be done from mediaspace.wisconsin.edu. Follow steps 1-3, above. Kaltura Capture should now be running on your computer.
  2. Kaltura Capture captures EVERYTHING on your screen by default. This means that you can open PowerPoint, or any other software, and record what’s displayed on your screen as well as your voice and webcam if you choose to do so. You are making a recording of any actions as well, so if you move your mouse pointer for example, that is also recorded.
  3. Getting ready to record and recording
  4. Ensure you are recording the correct input. Kaltura Capture can record your screen and webcam together. In the finished video, viewers can choose what to look at. If you have multiple screens/monitors, click the computer icon to choose the correct display.

  5. To turn off the webcam or screen, click on it so it turns grey with a line through it. In the screenshot below, the screen would be recorded and the webcam is turned off.

    2. NOTE: The webcam preview is not visible while recording. In other words, you do not see yourself while recording. Sometimes people don't realize they've recorded their webcam until they review the recording afterward. There is no way to delete the webcam recording.
    3. TIP: Do a test recording of a few seconds to ensure that the correct inputs are recorded and your audio is adequate.
  6. Check your microphone. You should see lines moving below the microphone icon. Click the drop down to choose a different microphone if necessary.
  7. When ready, click the red record button.
  8. When done, click the white stop button.
  9. You will be asked if you are sure you want to stop the recording. Click Yes, Stop itto confirm.

  10. The next screen will allow you to preview the video and change the title if you wish. You can:
    1. Delete the file if you know you do not want it
    2. Save and Upload if you want to use it
    3. Save if you do not want to upload it at this time - for instance, if you do not have internet (it will remain in your Library)
  11. If you choose Save and Upload, the next screen will show the progress of your upload. If the Kaltura servers are busy, the upload may be “Pending.” After the upload, the blue link may will work.
  12. Depending on internet traffic and your own internet connection, the upload may take a while. Shorter videos take less time to upload and process in Kaltura.
