Kaltura Capture is a quick way for you to record anything you can show on your computer screen, including PowerPoint presentations, websites, and applications, while allowing you to record your voice while you are recording. To install and use Kaltura Capture, use the following steps and tutorials:
Install the Recording Client
- Log in to Blackboard at learn.bu.edu and select MyMedia from the Tools area.
- When the My Media page loads, click the Add New button and select Kaltura Capture.
- A screen will load which allows you to download the recording client for Windows or Mac. Download and open/run the installation file that you need for your system.
- When the install completes, you will see a shortcut appear on your desktop, but the client still needs to be configured. Repeat step 2 by going back to your My Media list and again select Add New >> Kaltura Capture, but rather than downloading the installation file, wait a moment for the client to configure and launch automatically. You will see a Kaltura Capture icon loading icon appear and the recording controls will appear when configuration is complete.
