Managed deployment of the Capture application


About

Kaltura's Capture supports deployment through software management tools such as SCCM, making it easy for IT administrators to install and configure the app across multiple machines.

Admins can deploy Capture silently, customize configuration properties, and include the app in system images.

Command-line deployment

For full command-line options, see the official Microsoft reference for msiexec parameters.
