How to create a webcam recording

  • If you’ve already installed CaptureSpace, it will launch automatically. Otherwise, please refer to Moodle My Media - Installing CaptureSpace.
  • With the CaptureSpace Desktop Recorder window open, select Webcam to record the webcam.
  • A five-second countdown timer will indicate when recording will begin. To ensure that nothing is cut off from the beginning, it is a good idea to wait an extra second before you begin speaking.
  • You may pause and resume the recording by either clicking the Pause button or by pressing Alt + P.
    When you're finished with your recording click the Done button.
    If you would like to delete the recording and re-record it click the Cancel button.

How to access the audio files

CaptureSpace is designed to only allow you to upload your videos to 'My Media' in Moodle, but you can access the local MP4 files if you need to, and here's how:

Open CaptureSpace and click on the Settings tab. Copy the location of the 'Local Media Files Storage' and paste it into the Windows Explorer address bar. From there you'll need to find the correct sub folder with the MP4 file you're looking for.
