How to set Video and Audio Settings
This guide explains how to set your video and audio settings in Kaltura Capture. These settings should be adjusted before you start recording your screen.
In the Kaltura Video Capture control panel select the inputs you wish to capture
Click the icons to toggle the inputs on or off.
- To capture your computer screen, click the "Screen" icon.
- To capture your computer's web cam, click the "Web Cam" icon.
- To capture audio from your computer's microphone, click the "Audio" icon.
A popular configuration for recording presentations is with the "Screen" input and "Audio" input turned on, but with the "Web Cam" input turned off.
Note: when an input icon is blue, the input is active (it will record that input). When an input icon is grayed out, the input is inactive (it won't record that input).
To check the screen recording settings, click the small gray arrow next to the "Screen" icon
A preview of the desktop will appear. To change the screen you wish to record click the "Display" button under the preview image and choose a different display.
We recommend recording the full screen for best results, but if you would like to record a portion of your screen click 'Select Area' and a box will appear on your screen. Drag the corners of the box to define the area of your screen to record.
To check the web cam settings, click the small gray arrow next to the "Web Cam" icon
A preview of the web cam feed will appear. To change the camera you would like to record click on the menu under the preview image and choose a different camera.
Remember; if you do not wish to record your web cam click on the blue "Web Cam" icon so that it turns grey and has a slash through it.
To check your audio settings, click the small gray arrow next to the "Audio" icon
When you speak aloud you should see the green audio indicator inside the microphone icon move up and down. This shows that the audio signal is being picked up.
If you don't see the indicator move, or if you have multiple microphones on your computer you can change the microphone by clicking on the menu under the microphone and select the correct audio input.
Once your settings are configured and your presentation is ready, click the red "Record" button to start your recording
