CaptureSpace Lite webcam Quickstart

About this article

This article describes how to use CaptureSpace Lite to capture a webcam video and post in a Brightspace course. It is intended for students.

Go to http://mediaspace.mnscu.edu/ and login with your STAR ID.
Select Add New in the top right corner and select CaptureSpace Lite from the dropdown. This will launch the desktop recorder. (NOTE: If you have not used CaptureSpace Lite before you will have to download the recorder. It may take a few minutes to download.)
The recorder has 4 recording options. Select the WEBCAM option in the bottom left corner. This will record your webcamera and audio only.
Once launched, a small screen will appear and your camera will start. You will have a five-second countdown in the bottom left-corner, once the countdown is done, you are recording.
If during your recording you need to pause, select the Pause button from the control panel below the video. You can also Cancel the recording and start over if needed. When you are done recording, select Done from the control panel
Next you will see a preview window. You can view your video before saving it. Once you are done watching your video just simply select Done, in the bottom right hand corner.
Next title your video and select Upload
Once the process is completed select the link within the window this will bring you into MediaSpace (this is not the link to your video). It may take a few minutes for your video to appear in MediaSpace. (If it has been more than 5 minutes and your video has not appeared in MediaSpace, try refreshing your page or logging back in.)

If you are not already in MediaSpace, go to http://mediaspace.mnscu.edu/ and login with your STAR ID.
Next, find the recorded presentation from the list of your media. And Click on the title of the video.
Click the Share button under the video preview.
Once you click Share, two new options appear below Details and Share: Link to Media Page and Embed. Select Embed to display the code needed to embed your recording into your assignment area.
Copy the embed code by pressing Cmd-C on a Mac or Ctrl-C on a PC. (The embed code will be a rather large block on complicated code. Copy it without making changes.)
Go to Brightspace, enter your course, and navigate to the Assignments tool.
Click on the assignment to which you are posting your recording.
Select Insert Stuff, paste the embed code into the box, set any additional fields, and submit your assignment.
