How to use the Web Recorder

The Web Recorder enables recording content directly from a browser without the need to install or use Kaltura Capture. The Web Recorder can use your webcam, screen and microphone or any other audio input to record video. The browser must support webRTC.  For information about the supported browsers see Kaltura Express Capture Supported Browsers / Devices.

The time limit for recording with the web recorder is currently set to 4 hours.

It’s important to note that if you use the web recorder, you are relying on your browser and internet connection. You will have the choice to download the video file itself once finished recording.
