Record a Presentation One of MediaSpace’s newest features is “Record a Presentation,” which is a desktop recorder you can use to enhance your lectures. There are multiple options for recording that can be used in a combination of ways to maximize student learning. You will also notice that many of the recording options provided are already available in MediaSpace separately, but “Record a Presentation” allows the use of multiple options simultaneously.

1. After logging in to MediaSpace, you can select this new option by clicking on “Add New” then, “Record a Presentation.”

2. On the next screen, you will be asked to agree to the End-User license agreement. Read the terms and click the box, agreeing to the terms and conditions.

This screen will tell you the Windows System Requirements, OS X System Requirements, and the supported Microsoft PowerPoint Versions needed to utilize the “Record a Presentation” option. You will need to download the Desktop Recorder for your operating system.

4. The download may begin automatically, and in Windows, you can open it in the bottom download bar to complete installation. Or, you may need click “Run” to install.

5. After installation has been completed, a pop-up will appear instructing you to launch Kaltura CaptureSpace Desktop Recorder from the MediaSpace website. Click “OK.”

You may also select the recording quality (480p or 720p for webcam; 720p or 1080p for screen recording).
