Introduction

Kaltura Capture is an application you install on your computer that allows you to easily record media and upload directly to your My Media library in Moodle. You can record screencasts, webcams, powerpoint presentation slides, or just audio.

Once you've uploaded your media into your My Media library in Moodle, you can easily share it anywhere in Moodle where you see the text editor. Look for the My Media icon  in the toolbar.

How to install Kaltura Capture

From Moodle, select My Media at the top to navigate to your media library.

From the My Media window on the right, select Create and then Capture.

• Select Download for Windows or the Download for Mac link to download Kaltura Capture.
• Follow the prompts to install the software to your computer.
  
  

After installing:

If Kaltura Capture doesn't automatically open, return to your media library and select Create and then Capture again.

You may be presented with a confirmation window to open this link in the Kaltura Capture software. The confirmation window will look slightly different depending on your browser, but you usually want to select Always allow and then the button to Open Kaltura Capture.

This is what the Kaltura Capture desktop recorder will look like:

There are three possible recording inputs: Screen, Camera, and Audio. You can record any combination of these three. When they are disabled, as the Camera is above, they will appear grey with a line through it. To toggle enabling or disabling an input simply select it.

Select your recording inputs and then select the red Start Recording button to start recording.

Important: Kaltura Capture must be launched from Moodle so that it is "connected" to RRU Moodle.
