Instructors can control their Course Capture settings by logging in from the Course Capture Home Page. It can take up to 12 hours for changes to take effect.
Collaborators
Collaborators are given co-editing and co-publishing privileges to Course Capture recordings. Users with the Admin Proxy (APRX) role in SIS Campus Solution are automatically given collaborator status, but instructors are able to remove them within their Course Capture setting. APRX roles are typically given to GSIs or staff coordinators, but your department may follow different practices.
Recording Type
Most rooms are limited to the "Camera without Operator" setting. Audio-only recording is not available. For those looking for a Projector+Audio only option, cameras can be blocked using the touch panel in the room
Camera without Operator (with Projection+Audio)
Cost: Free
Schedulers: Search for 06: AV-Course Capture and 14: AV-Camera without Operator
This service is available in all Course Capture rooms but is limited to wide-shot presets only in certain auditoriums (Pimentel Hall, Wheeler Auditorium). Course Capture will record your voice, the display projected with the projector (laptop, document camera, or other HDMI source), and the camera feeds through the installed equipment in the room and posts it to your Kaltura account. See Recording Placement options below

They will adjust the camera position to point at relevant chalkboards, demo benches, or at the instructor as they move about the stage. They will also assist with mic, computer and equipment set up, audio, video and data capture, lighting changes, and overall classroom operations.

Opt Out
By default, all courses in a Course Capture enabled classrooms are recorded. There are many benefits to Course Capture, but we recognize it may not suit every teaching style.
- Secondary sections such as discussions or labs are treated individually and usually has the GSI listed as the instructor. GSIs will need to opt-out of these secondary sections on their own following the same steps as faculty in the How to Opt Out knowledge article.
