Record PowerPoint slides with Capture

About

Recording PowerPoint slides with Kaltura Capture helps viewers navigate your video more easily by clicking on specific slides or searching for text that appeared in your presentation. Slides are automatically turned into time-based chapters and indexed for search.

How it works

Set your inputs

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

If using multiple screens, slides are only captured and recorded from the screen being recorded.

Start presenting

1. Click the big red button to start your recording.



If PowerPoint is opened in Protected Mode, slides cannot be captured in the recording. You can click Enable Editing to fix it. 

2. Open the PowerPoint presentation in Slide Show mode.



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.

View chapters and search slides

1. Go to My Media.



2. On the My Media page, click the title or thumbnail to open the media page and play the video



3. On the media page, click the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of the player to view the chapters.

If you don't see the magnifying glass icon, you may need to enable the Navigation plugin.



4. The list of slide-based chapters displays.
5. Use the  search bar to find specific text in your slides.
6. Click any chapter to jump to that point in the video.

Need to edit chapters?

You can edit chapters in the Timeline tab of your Video Portal or LMS integration. See Create and manager chapters and slides for more information.
