Resolution
Oregon State University supports a number of different recording solutions for students, faculty, and staff. In addition to the software solutions listed below, professional production services are available.
Presentation Recordings
Presentations generally capture your screen, audio and, if desired, your webcam as well. Consider using Zoom to record a presentation by yourself or with a group. Zoom cloud recordings are automatically uploaded to Kaltura once they have been processed by Zoom. Alternatively, Kaltura Capture can be downloaded and installed for presentation recordings.
Webcam Video or Audio Recordings
If your device has a built-in webcam and microphone, consider using the Kaltura Webcam Recorder. Turn off the camera in the Kaltura Webcam Recorder for an audio-only recording.
MacOS, Windows, Android, iOS, iPadOS, and Chromebook all have native webcam recording tools as well. Please consult the documentation for your device to learn how to record audio and video with your device.
Screen Recordings
Zoom can be used to record your screen only. Screen recording is also available natively on MacOS, Android, iOS, and iPadOS. If the instructions below do not match your device, please consult the documentation for your device. Kaltura Capture can also be used for screen recordings.
MacOS

- From the toolbar you can then select to record all of the screen, or only a portion of the screen.
- Click the Record button on the toolbar to begin recording.
- A circle with a square will appear in your MacOS menu bar while you record. Press this icon to stop your recording or Command + Control + Esc.
- After you have stopped your recording, a file will appear on your desktop of the recording you have made.
iOS/iPadOS

Upload your Media Content to Kaltura
If you create your media content using a tool other than Zoom, Kaltura Webcam Recorder, or Kaltura Capture, be sure to upload your media to your personal My Media collection.
Note: If you use Zoom to record your media content, it may take some time depending on the length of the record for the Zoom recording to transfer to Kaltura and your personal My Media collection. You should receive an email from OSU Kaltura Support <customer_service@kaltura.com> when your media has been transferred and is ready for you to use.
