Critical Concepts

• Disk space usage. When you record using Kaltura Capture, it will keep your recording files on your computer in addition to uploading them to the cloud.
• More reliable on Windows. We've observed less stability with Kaltura Capture on Macs.
• System requirements. see Kaltura's documentation on your computer's system requirements for the software. It works on both Macs and Windows computers.
• Dual screen recordings. If you elect to record your camera and screen, then your recording in Kaltura will be a dual-stream recording, which allows viewers to control the arrangement of the two video streams. Handy!
