- This document focuses on Kaltura Capture, but we generally recommend TechSmith Camtasia (newly available to instructors and staff on 8/28/20) over Kaltura Capture for instructors and staff at UW-Madison. It can more easily make longer recordings, allows you to do more editing and is an easy-to-use and more powerful screen capture, and webcam capture tool.
- Users who want to record slideshows with audio narration can also use Powerpoint itself (More instructions for: Windows, Mac). Powerpoint allows you to more easily update your narrated slideshows - you can not easily update a Kaltura Capture video later. In Powerpoint you can delete the audio for an individual slide, re-record and export your presentation as a MP4 and upload that to Kaltura MediaSpace or share the file itself. Kaltura Capture (or Camtasia) is more for if you need to record yourself using software or guiding your viewer through a website, etc. - something beyond narrated Powerpoint slides.
If you're interested in recording your screen or webcam with Kaltura Capture make sure your machine meets Kaltura Capture's minimum specifications:
