Kaltura Capture

Users have two main options for finding and re-uploading recordings made with the desktop Kaltura Capture software. Both methods can only be performed from the computer that was used to make the original recording.

A) Through Kaltura Capture

The swiftest way to find and re-upload recordings is by going through Kaltura Capture.

  1. Open Kaltura Capture.

  2. On the right of the Kaltura Capture recording interface, click Manage.

  3. On the Manage screen, go to Library (this is the default).

  4. On the list of recordings, locate the recording you'd like to re-upload. Click Re-Upload.

B) Through computer file system

Sometimes you'd rather locate your videos directly on your computer's file system, whether to upload the raw files to a video system other than Kaltura or to access them without going through Kaltura Capture

  1. Use your computer's file manager to browse to the following location:

Windows

C:\Users\<connected user>\AppData\Local\Kaltura\Capture\Recordings

MacOS

 /Users/<connected user>/Library/Preferences/Kaltura/Capture/Recordings

2. Browse through the .mp4 files in that location to find the correct recording. The filenames don't correspond to video titles, so you may need to browse through the files by date and test several files to find the right one.

3. Once you have the correct .mp4 recording file, you can

upload the video to Kaltura through Canvas or though MediaSpace.
