Classroom Lecture Capture - How to Record Video in a Classroom


Introduction

Classrooms equipped for lecture capture have microphones, multiple cameras, and are set up to record the content the instructor is presenting. They can record multiple video streams. Scheduled lecture captures are automatically made available in the course's Canvas site. 

Kaltura is Virginia Tech's tool for lecture capture, video recording, and video hosting. Kaltura is a user-friendly, accessible, and technologically advanced lecture capture and video hosting platform.
