How do i change the input streamed to the Kaltura Lecture Capture live broadcast?
In the current first phase of the live broadcasting feature, only the primary input is streamed. To change the input that is streamed, please set a different input as the “primary input”. This can be done via the input setting.
How do i know if i’m live using the Kaltura Lecture Capture?
See the “ON AIR” indicator located above the primary input (the input that is live streamed) in the Lecture Capture application.
How do slides work on a Kaltura Lecture Capture live broadcast?
If slides are available, they will be converted to images and broadcast alongside the primary input, so that viewers get a dual-stream experience.
PPT needs to be in presentation mode to be detected. Animations or videos embedded in slides are not broadcast with the slide.
What happens if i click pause or stop in the middle of a Kaltura Lecture Capture live broadcast?
If you click Pause, the live broadcast will stop until the recording is resumed.
If you choose to stop the recording ahead of the scheduled time, the live broadcast will stop as well.
If you choose to stop broadcasting in the middle of the live streaming, the Lecture Capture application will stop the RTMP stream but will continue to record.
What happens if i started the Lecture Capture event ahead of the scheduled time?
If you choose to start the event ahead of the scheduled time, the live broadcast will start as well.
You will be on-air and live.

Lecture Capture - live broadcasting
During the lecture
The live broadcast will include streaming of the primary input along with a slide stream if one is available. Even if Lecture Capture is recording multiple streams, only the primary stream will be broadcast. Slides will appear as a separate stream, enable the user to focus on the content or professor. The resulting recording will include all content captured by Lecture Capture.
Extending the event will also continue the live broadcast.
Monitoring the live broadcast
The Monitoring Dashboard enables admins to view the status of their campus wide installation of Kaltura Lecture Capture. The Monitoring Dashboard lists all resources with an expand option for each resource. More information about live entry monitoring can be found here.
Analytics are currently not available for live streams in Lecture Capture.
