Send your applause to our graduates by producing a quick video of you clapping and cheering for 30 seconds. Winona State University employees can use any of these methods. Friends and family can use any familiar video production tool. We have included instructions for using QuickTime (Mac) and Microsoft Camera (PC).

Apple QuickTime

This is an option for anyone using a Mac computer. Use QuickTime and your webcam to record a video, save it to your computer's hard drive, and then upload it to the MarComm OneDrive.

  1. Open QuickTime
  2. Go to: File -> New Movie Recording
  3. Allow any video or audio access to the app (if it pops up)
  4. You should be able to see what your webcam sees now
  5. In the video feed, click the big red button in the middle to record
  6. Clap and cheer for at least 15 secs (more is better)
  7. When done, hit the stop button (same place as the record button as before)
  8. Go to: File -> Save
  9. Name the file with your first initial and last name
  10. Choose a location you can find easily

Windows Camera

This is an option for anyone using a Windows 10 computer. Use Camera and your webcam to record a video, save it to your computer's hard drive, and then upload it to the MarComm OneDrive.

  1. Select the Windows Start icon in the lower-left corner of the screen.
  2. Start typing "Camera" and then select the Camera app.
  3. Camera may ask for permission to use your location. Your choice has no impact on this project.
  4. Camera will detect your webcam and microphone and open a live webcam display in picture mode.
  5. Switch to video mode by selecting the video camera icon on the right (Fig 1).
  6. Select the video camera icon again to start recording (Fig 1).
  7. Select the stop icon to stop recording (FIg 2). The video will be saved in your Camera Roll folder on your hard drive.

Kaltura Capture

This is an option for all Winona State University employees and requires a Star ID. It works on a Mac or PC computer. With this method, instead of uploading your video file to the MarComm OneDrive, you will email a link to your video to webcomm@winona.edu.

Record your video

  1. Go to http://mediaspace.minnstate.edu and sign in with your Star ID username and password.
  2. Select Add New in the top right corner and select Kaltura Capture from the menu (Fig 1). If you have never used Kaltura Capture before or it has been a long time since you used it, download and install it on your computer. After installation, close your browser, restart it, and repeat Steps 1 and 2.
  3. Select Open Kaltura Capture if prompted by your browser.
  4. When the Kaltura Capture application opens, click on Screen to deselect it. It will change color and the icon will have a line through it, indicating it’s off. Camera and Audio should be on (Fig 2.1).
  5. Select the round button to begin recording (Fig 2.2).
  6. Select the square button to stop recording (Fig 3).
  7. Select Yes, Stop it. Select Delete if you want to do another take.
  8. Select Save & Upload. A progress meter will indicate when the upload to your MediaSpace account is complete.
