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.

Capture administratrs r instructrs create live events in Capture Prtal, and send each event's generated URL t guest presenters.

After a user presents a live webcast with Web Capture, the presentatin is stred in Capture Prtal r Capture Central fr further editing r publishing. As a best practice, cnsider limiting yur use f Web Capture t unique use-case scenaris nly (e.g. special guest presenters; presenters with n access t Capture Sftware).
