Kaltura – Recording PowerPoint slides with Kaltura Capture

PowerPoint presentations recorded by Kaltura Capture can turn recorded slides into time-based chapters when uploaded. This allows viewers to easily search for slides via timestamped chapters when viewing these types of Kaltura videos.

How it works

1. Set your inputs.
2. Make sure Screen is selected as one of your recording inputs.
3. Optionally, add a second input like a webcam or another screen, if you want to show something else alongside the presentation.

Recording a slideshow with audio (windows only)

When recording a PowerPoint slideshow with audio, the Capture audio input must be enabled along with the system audio.

1. 1. Launch your Kaltura Capture application.
   2. Navigate to the Settings tab and set Record system audio to ‘Yes’.
   3. Click Save.

Start presenting

1. Click the big red button to start your recording.
2. Open the PowerPoint presentation in Slide Show mode. If PowerPoint is opened in Protected Mode, slides cannot be captured in the recording. You can click Enable Editing to fix it.
3. Present your slides.

As you present:

• Each slide is captured as a chapter with a time stamp.
• Slide text is indexed, so it becomes searchable in the player.

• End your recording by clicking the grey square, then click Yes, stop it.
• End your slide show.
