If yu are a user with access t Capture Prtal, yu can access live webcast presentatins with yur cmputer r mbile device, lk fr scheduled live events frm the Capture Calendar page, interact with ther attendees and presenters thrugh chat, and view presentatins n-demand after past live events and ffline recrdings are published. If yu are a Learning Envirnment user, yu can view live events and n-demand CaptureCast presentatins in yur curse cntent. Capture Sftware Cnduct live webcasts and ffline recrdings frm yur wn cmputer's Capture Sftware. Capture Sftware is installed n a PC, Mac, r Capture Statin, and its essential functin is t recrd and stream yur CaptureCast presentatins, and publish them t the end user. After yu finish recrding a presentatin, Capture Sftware enables yu t publish it t Capture Prtal fr n-demand viewing and further editing. Capture Statin Use Capture Statin t recrd autmated presentatins at a physical lcatin such as a classrm, lecture hall, r cnference area. Capture Statin is a wrkstatin with high perfrmance interfaces fr cameras and micrphnes, utilizing Capture Sftare t recrd curse sessins autmatically at preset times and dates. Capture Prtal Once yu create a webcast r an ffline recrding with Capture Sftware, yu can publish it t Capture Prtal fr n-demand viewing. Capture Prtal is a web-based applicatin yu can use t: Manage and edit CaptureCast presentatins Create live events Mnitr Capture Statin autmatin Manage users, grups, and their access levels Capture Statin is mnitred thrugh Capture Prtal, allwing yu t remtely schedule the statin t start recrding live streams at pre-determined times.

Unlike Capture Sftware, Web Capture has limited functinality and shuld be used nly in unique use-case scenaris (e.g. special guest nline presenters; presenters with n access t Capture Sftware). Prducer Capture Prtal's built-in Prducer tl enables yu t make simple edits t published CaptureCast presentatins. Yu can cut segments frm audi r vide files, add chapter divisins, insert files, manage slides, and include clsed captining subtitles. Capture in Learning Envirnment Capture Central Similar t Capture Prtal, Capture Central enables yu t create live events, publish, manage, and edit presentatins fr n-demand viewing, and use Web Capture fr presenters wh d nt have Capture Sftware, all in Learning Envirnment. Learning Envirnment users can view yur live events and published presentatins within their curses after yu embed yur presentatins int curse cntent. Once yu create a live event r publish a presentatin, yu can embed yur CaptureCast presentatin int curse cntent anywhere HTML Editr is available. NOTES Learners d nt have access t Capture Central.

Presenting and publishing with Web Capture Instructrs may want t invite guests t present lectures r events frm remte lcatins.

36 Adding access cntrls t flders and presentatins If multiple users share a Capture Statin and an autmated prcess is set fr publishing presentatins t flders, yu can create access cntrls fr each flder t ensure that instructrs and students can nly view (r view and manage) the presentatins specific t their curse's publishing flder. NOTE A presentatin in a flder inherits the flder's access cntrl settings unless the presentatin itself has access cntrl settings greater than the flder's settings. Fr example, if an instructr assigns "Can View" access t a flder, but decides t give "Can View and Manage" access t ne f the presentatin within it, that presentatin des nt inherit the flder's settings. Setting access cntrl t "Can View" fr "Everyne" Yu can set access cntrl restrictins at the flder r presentatin level. Unless a presentatin has its wn access cntrl settings, it will inherit the flder's access cntrl settings. If yu set access cntrls t "Can View" fr "Everyne" at the flder level, it verrides all access cntrl settings yu set fr published presentatins within the flder. NOTE "Can View and Manage" fr "Everyne" verrides "Can View" fr "Everyne", but yur use f this access cntrl setting shuld be rare and limited. ADD ACCESS CONTROLS TO A FOLDER 1.
