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.
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: |
When under the "Camera" tab–you can choose which camera to use for your session if you have more than one available. |
When under the "Audio" tab–you can choose which microphone to use for your session if you have more than one available. |
At any point if you would like to stop recording you screen, camera, or audio–you can click on the blue icon of the option you would like to turn off.
When off the option/options you currently have off will become greyed out and show a line going through the icon.
Once off, if you would like to turn the option back on you can click on the greyed-out icon and the option will turn back on.
