Task to complete

PowerPoint Preparation

  1. Right-click on the link then select Save Link As...​ to download the Desktop recording participants slides to your computer. 
  2. Open the PowerPoint slides.

Settings

  1. Open Kaltura Capture.
  2. Ensure the two screen or webcam icons are selected and the icon turned blue.
  3. Click on the down arrow next to the Screen icon to ensure the preview display is showing the PowerPoint slides. If not, select the appropriate display from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click on the down arrow next to the Webcam icon to ensure the preview display is showing you within the frame. If not, select the appropriate display from the drop-down menu.
  5. Ensure the audio is recording.

Recording

  1. Start the slide show in the PowerPoint.
  2. Optionally, if working with one screen, you might need to use Alt Tab (on Windows) or Command Tab (on Mac) to ensure Kaltura Capture appears on the screen.
  3. Click on the Start Recording icon (red circle).

Note: A countdown timer will appear before recording.

Tip: Make use of the Pause Recording icon (red circle) to pause between slides/delivering content so that it ensures the recording is efficient. It can also ensure you do not need to finish the recording in one long take.

Note: If a mistake was made, there is no way to redo a certain part. You can either delete the recording by clicking on the Cancel recording icon (x icon) and start again or cut out that incorrect part via Editing.

  1. Answer the questions in each slide, pausing between each slide then recording once ready to speak.
  2. When done, click on the Stop Recording icon (square icon).
