Record with Kaltura Capture
About this article
This article includes a brief description of the Kaltura Capture tool, part of our MediaSpace toolset, installation instructions, and links to other articles on how to setup and use the tool to create video and audio recordings. It is intended for all WSU students and employees.
What is Kaltura Capture?
Kaltura Capture is one of the tools in our MediaSpace toolset. It's a software application that you install on your computer that allows you to create video and audio recordings. Using Kaltura Capture, you can easily produce recordings that capture any combination of your voice, screen activity, and webcam. These recordings can then be immediately saved to your MediaSpace account. Designed to provide a very basic set of features and functions that are tightly integrated with your MediaSpace account, Kaltura Capture is an alternative to other multimedia authoring tools like Camtasia and Screencast-O-Matic.
Installing the Kaltura Capture software on your computer
The first time you access Kaltura Capture, you will be prompted to install the application on your computer. MediaSpace guides you through the installation, which is relatively straightforward. The process is different for PC and Mac computers and varies slightly across Web browsers. There are full instructions for downloading and installing Kaltura Capture in [the Kaltura Knowledge Base]. (You can always contact the Technical Support Center (TechSupport@winona.edu, 507-457-5240, Somsen Hall 207) if you have any problems.) Once you have installed the application, it will launch automatically each time you use Kaltura Capture through MediaSpace.
