Use Advanced Tips and Tricks in Kaltura Capture

This tutorial outlines the main in-recording controls and how to enable multi-stream recording in Kaltura Capture.

In-recording keyboard shortcuts

If you are making many recordings in Kaltura Capture, you may find it helpful to use the keyboard shortcuts to quickly control recording functions. It may be useful to write down your preferred controls on a sticky note attached to your computer for easy reference while recording.

These keyboard shortcuts are only available once you launch Kaltura Capture.

  • Start, Pause, or Resume Recording: Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) + Shift + R
  • Stop Recording: Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) + Shift + S
  • Cancel Recording: Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) + Shift + C
  • Go to Management: Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) + Shift + M

In-recording annotation tools

Kaltura capture includes a number of digital annotation tools you can use to mark up your screen while recording.

These keyboard shortcuts are only available once you launch Kaltura Capture.

Select the pencil icon (2) to use the screen annotation tools.

Kaltura Annotation Tools

The annotation tools in Kaltura available to you include:

  • A pencil for freehand writing and drawing
  • An arrow for highlighting specific parts of your screen
  • A type tool for adding typed text
  • A color selector to change the colors of your annotations
  • A size bar to change the size of your text, arrow, or thickness of your freehand line
  • A trash bin which will clear all your annotations
  • A pop-up whiteboard

Enable multi-stream recording

Advanced users may need to record more than one screen or video steam at time. This tutorial demonstrates how to enable multi-screen recording, but you will follow similar steps to enable other multi-video recording.

NOTE: Kaltura Capture enables a maximum of 2 video sources, so you may record screen and camera, 2 screens, or 2 cameras.

  1. Log in to MediaSpace and launch Kaltura Capture.
  2. Select the word “Screen” (3) and select your first screen input (4) from the available options.
