Recommendations
- 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:
Hardware / Software: | Requirement: |
---|---|
Operating System: | Windows 7 - 10 (64 bit) and above macOS 10.12 and above |
Memory: | 4 GB RAM |
Storage: | 1 GB minimum available (we recommend 10 GB available) |
Processor: | Minimum Intel i5 or AMD A10 (min 4 cores) |
Internet Connection: | While an internet connection isn't technically required to use Kaltura Capture after it is downloaded and installed, you do need a decent connection to upload the files to Kaltura MediaSpace. We recommend at minimum 1 Mbps upload speed. You can test your internet connection speed by going to typing 'speed test' into Google and clicking RUN SPEED TEST. An alternate speed test is fast.com - make sure you click 'Show more info' after the initial test runs to show the upload speed. |
Please note that Kaltura Capture does not currently support capturing of system audio (for example capturing the audio from a video you are playing back while screen capturing) in OSX.

KalturaCapture is the new recording tool from Kaltura. We previously used CaptureSpace Lite with the D2L Kaltura. CaptureSpace Lite (legacy) is also available in Canvas; if you experience problems with KalturaCapture or cannot install it, you can also use CaptureSpace Lite until it is discontinued by Kaltura in summer of June 2019.
Install KalturaCapture - Windows
- Login to Canvas
- Click Account in the global navigation on the left.
- Select My Media
- If this is your first time using Kaltura within Canvas, you will need to click Authorize

TIP: Consider changing the recordings folder to a location more easily accessible in case you want to access or delete the files. On a UWEC computer, you can remove the information in the path after your username and just type in “desktop” as in the screenshot below
NOTE: After the program is installed, nothing happens. To start recording, repeat steps 2-5 above and the program will launch. You may have to allow it to open.
View the Record with KalturaCapture Instructions for tips on recording effectively. The tool is still in development and some aspects are not intuitive yet. If you experience problems, it may be easiest to use CaptureSpace Lite (legacy) instead.
