Deploy Lecture Capture across your organization

About

This article explains how to deploy Lecture Capture across your organization.

Lecture Capture supports software management systems that help administrators manage large groups of Windows-based computers, such as SCCM. Admins can deploy Lecture Capture across the organization as part of system images, and configure the application once.

Command line

For the command line options for deploying Lecture Capture across your organization, see Windows Installer command-line options from Microsoft.

Select features

Enter the following command to add the uploader (upload service) and the app (Capture application):

add ADDLOCAL="CaptureAppFeature,UploadServiceFeature,LaunchOnLoginFeature,AuthenticationFeature"

remove REMOVE="CaptureAppFeature,UploadServiceFeature,LaunchOnLoginFeature,AuthenticationFeature"

Enter the following command to add the uploader only:

add ADDLOCAL=UploadServiceFeature

Enter the following command to add the app only:

add ADDLOCAL=CaptureAppFeature

Available Kaltura-specific properties

  • KALTURA_RECORDINGS_DIR: Location of the recording files. There's a default, so you don't need to set this unless you want to change it. If you change it, the folder must be available for all users to read and write. This is a mandatory parameter when you aren't using the UI.
  • KALTURA_LOGS_DIR: Location of the log files. There's a default, so you don't need to set this.
  • KALTURA_URL: Uses a default value. Don't change it.
  • KALTURA_APPTOKEN: Enter your app token.
  • KALTURA_APPTOKEN_ID: Enter your app token ID.
  • KALTURA_PARTNER_ID: Enter your partner ID.
  • KALTURA_DEFAULT_USER_ID: Enter the default user ID to use for recordings with no user ID set.
  • INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT: Set to 1 for yes or 0 for no. Default: yes.
  • INSTALLPROGRAMSSHORTCUT: Set to 1 for yes or 0 for no. Default: yes.
  • INSTALLDIR: Location of the installation path. A default is available.
  • KALTURA_AUTH_URL: Authentication URL for the Lecture Capture sign-in flow.
  • KALTURA_AUTHENTICATION_MODE: Set to 1 for yes or 0 for no. Default: no.

Examples

The following is an example of how to install with a UI prompt and save installation logs to example.log.

.msiexec /i KalturaClassroom_0.0.1.msi /L*V "example.log"

The following example shows how to install without a UI prompt. You need elevated administrator rights:

. msiexec /i KalturaClassroom_0.0.1.msi /L*V "example.log" /qn

KalturaClassroom_0.0.1.msi /L*V "example.log" /qn KALTURA_RECORDINGS_DIR="z:\lectures\" ADDLOCAL=CaptureAppFeature

Because the .msi file installs services and the application for all users, run it with administrator and elevated privileges.
