Kaltura is a desktop application that is on all managed Syracuse University computers to create, edit, and share media created for presentations and lectures.
To access Kaltura Capture make sure to go to video.syr.edu and logging in with you NetID information.

First make sure the application is downloaded to your computer by either searching for it in windows search bar at the bottom left of your search or by opening the start menu and scrolling until you find the Kaltura program.

Once Kaltura is open, you should see the following screen:

Next you can click on "New recording" to prepare for your session. Note: This does not start the recording, it will open the following window to allow you to prepare to start your new session.
School of Architecture > How to Use Kaltura Capture > kaltura.new.recording.png

This allows you to prepare your session under three main tabs–screen, camera, and audio.

When under the "Screen" tab–the "Full Screen" option selected allows your session to capture your entire screen. This means anyone who will be watching the video will see the entire screen and what you are doing, even if you switch to a different application (Ex. using PowerPoint and then opening a Word document).

If you select "Select Area" instead of "Full Screen" you will see the following appear:
School of Architecture > How to Use Kaltura Capture > kaltura.select.area.png
The white dotted line box shows what area will be captured during your recording session. You can also change the size of the area by clicking on the arrow next to the size.

When under the "Camera" tab–you can choose which camera to use for your session if you have more than one available.
