• Kaltura is integrated with Moodle, thereby enhancing the video capability of our LMS. You can upload existing video files on Moodle without files size restriction, however, it is highly recommended that you compress your video recordings using the handbreak or VLC application. Another significant feature of Kaltura is the Express Capture and Kaltura Capture that allows you to record your screen with a voiceover. Now you can capture not only your presentation slides but the interface and workflow of any application on your laptop. All media uploaded with the Kaltura activity on Moodle will be automatically transcoded for adaptive playback: http://utlo.ukzn.ac.za/utop/Kaltura
