Updating Personal Capture

If you are having problems with the Kaltura Personal Capture recording software, you might consider updating the software.

To check to see if your Capture application is up to date, please visit Kaltura’s Capture Updates site and compare the latest version number to the version number in your desktop application. To find your Capture version number, please follow this process:

  1. Open Kaltura Personal Capture on your desktop.
  2. Click on the Manage link to the very right of the application.
  3. The Kaltura Capture Version number is available in the information menu.

If your application is due for an upgrade, allow the application to remain idle for 5 minutes. Kaltura Personal Capture updates automatically after it detects no activity.

A message will display informing the user the update is taking place, to not start a new capture until the update is complete, and a final notification letting the user know the update is finished.

Warning; Do not start a new recording until this process is complete.

In the case that the application does not update automatically, please repeat the installation process detailed above to replace the your older Capture version with Kaltura’s most current and up-to-date version.
