        • 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.

          Kaltura Capture is a stand-alone app that uploads the recordings you make directly to your My Media folder. You can record two visual sources at once, either two cameras + mic or your webcam and your screen + mic.

          PS: If you want access to a simple to use yet powerful video editor and screen recorder you might want to check out Camtasia. All staff and faculty has access to a Camtasia license.
