How to Use Kaltura Capture

If this is your first time opening Kaltura it will prompt you to start Kaltura from the website. 

Go to video.syr.edu and log in with your NetID credentials in the top right-hand corner. Once logged in, click on "ADD NEW" and then "Kaltura Capture" as shown in the following image:

If the application is already installed on your computer OR you have opened the program in the past, open Kaltura by either searching for it in the Windows search bar at the bottom left of your screen or by opening the Start menu and scrolling until you find the Kaltura program.

Under the "Screen" tab, selecting the "Full Screen" option allows the session to capture your entire screen. This means anyone who will be watching the video will see the entire screen and what you are doing, even if you switch to a different application (Ex. using PowerPoint and then opening a Word document).

If you select "Select Area" instead of "Full Screen", you will see the following appear:

The white dotted line box shows what area will be captured during your recording session. You can also change the size of the area by clicking on the arrow next to the size.

Under the "Camera" tab, you can choose which camera to use for your session, if you have more than one available.
 

Under the "Audio" tab, you can choose which microphone to use for your session, if you have more than one available.

At any point if you would like to stop recording you screen, camera, or audio, you can click on the blue icon of the option you would like to turn off.

When off the option/options you currently have off will become greyed out and show a line going through the icon. 
Once off, if you would like to turn the option back on, click on the greyed-out icon and the option will turn back on. 

Once you are ready to start recording your session, press the red button to begin:

If you need to pause the recording but you are not yet finished, press the pause button to temporarily pause your recording; when you are ready to resume recording press the red button:

When you are finished recording your session, press the stop button; it will then ask "Are you sure you want to stop this recording?" End the recording by clicking on "Yes, Stop it":

If you save your session without uploading, you will see the following screen:

If you click "Save & Upload", it will immediately start uploading your session to your online account:
