Introduction

A voice-only recording is an audio recording of you speaking. It does not capture your camera or screenSo both the screen and camera are turned off and are not recorded. Voice-only recordings may be useful for verbal feedback, concept explanations, podcasts, etc.

You can record a voice-only recording directly from your My Media page. To do this, you will need to install the My Media application called CaptureSpacecalled Kaltura Capture. Once you have made your recording, you can upload to your My Media library and embed it anywhere the Moodle text editor is available.
