TechSmith Relay will be discontinued at Carleton as of December 2019. In 2020, you will no longer be able to access your TechSmith online video archive. Your videos will be backed up to a server, but it is recommended that you download a copy of your TechSmith videos and transfer them to the Kaltura Media Space. The Media Space allows you to store, publish, and share your media within a cloud-based video management platform.
Can I prepare for this transition ahead of January 2020?
Yes, you can move your recordings over to Kaltura before 2020 following the instructions below. There is no need to wait until January to make this shift. In fact, we recommend that you transition as soon as possible.
Where Can I find the links to my recordings?
The TechSmith Relay server has an archive of all of your recordings that you can access before December 31, 2019. Once you log into this achieve using your MyCarletonOne credentials you can search your collection and access the videos you wish to migrate. You can also check your email for links to your TechSmith recordings. The TechSmith Relay server has sent you a link to your video in the “Camtasia Relay Automated Email” for every recording you have completed (see example below). All existing links to your TechSmith videos, including cuLearn course or emailed links, will continue to be accessible in 2020.
