        • Kaltura gives you two recording tools. Express Capture is an in-browser recorder, while Kaltura Capture is a stand-alone screen recording app.
          Express Capture records in-browser. It can be a good tool for giving engaging feedback or short more personable communications that can be posted anywhere on your course page.
