Introduction
A screencast is a recording of what is on your computer screen, often containing audio narration. Another name for a screencast is video screen capture or screen recording. Screencasts are useful for how-to-guides, narrated demonstrations, course tours, tutorials, slideshows, etc.
You can record screencasts directly from your My Media page. To do this, you will need to install the My Media application called 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.
To learn how to make a screencast, watch this video or read step-by-step instructions below.
