Updating your Kaltura Capture account

The latest update to the Kaltura Capture application requires that you update your login by re-launching the software from Canvas. Please go through these steps before recording your next video.

How to manually upload Kaltura Capture recordings

Any recordings that you made prior to updating your Kaltura Capture account will need to be manually uploaded using the steps below.

Locate the Kaltura Capture "Recordings" folder on your computer

Windows

  1. Right click on the Kaltura Capture icon on the desktop.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Click on 'Open File Location' and go up one folder to the 'Capture' folder.
  4. Open the "Recordings" folder.

Alternately, you can go to: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Kaltura\Capture\Recordings\

Mac

  1. Go to the Finder.
  2. From the "Go" menu, select "Go to Folder".
  3. In the form, enter ~/Library/Preferences/Kaltura/Capture/Recordings/
  4. Click "Go".

Alternately, you can go to: /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Kaltura/Capture/Recordings/

Locate the .mp4 file for the recording

The files will have complicated names, so locate the file by looking at the date created and previewing the files. If you recorded both your desktop and video of yourself there will be two files, but you will only be able to upload one of them.

If it will be easier for you to find the file to upload, copy the file to your desktop and rename it.

Upload the file to My Media

Go to My Media in  Canvas and click "Add New > Media Upload" and select the .mp4 file.
