About Kaltura Capture 

Kaltura Capture is a desktop application that helps you record presentations and screencast using any combination of voice, webcam video, screen action, and presentation slides. You can then upload and manage your recordings alongside other Kaltura content in My Media and Media Gallery within bCourses. 

Course Capture: Instructors who are teaching in an eligible classroom might consider signing up for the Course Capture service. This service automates the video capture and comes with optional support for presenter recordings. Note:  Course Capture was suspended for Spring 2020 Semester due to COVID-19. Please see ETS Course Capture Service Page for latest info on service availability
