This document serves as a 'Quick Sheet' for setting up Kaltura Classroom and PowerPoint for dual-monitor use. The following points will be briefly covered, and more comprehensive assistance can be arranged at a different time before instruction through a one-on-one appointment with advance notice.

Setting Up The PowerPoint

  1. After signing into the computer, download your PowerPoint from wherever it is stored.

  2. After the PowerPoint downloads to the computer, click the icon or file twice to open it.

  3. When the page opens, click the Slide Show button (below).

  1. After clicking Slide Show, please ensure the Use Presenter View box is checked if you are using the notes function.

  2. Then, click the From Beginning button.

  1. You should see screens similar to the two below: on one monitor, the full slide for the presentation, and on the other, the “notes page.”

 

 

Check your projection slides: Is what you see on the projected screen the slide that you’d like to present? If not, please do the following:

  • On the top of the “notes page” screen, click the Display Settings button.

  • Click Swap Presenter View and Slide Show.

This should then change the screen that is being projected to your class.

Recording with Kaltura Classroom

Once you have your PowerPoint ready, it’s time to start your Kaltura Classroom recording!

  1. Click the green Kaltura Classroom icon on the desktop.

  1. When the program loads, you should see the screen below:

During the Lecture

  • The square stops the recording entirely, while the “x” to the right of the red button cancels the recording.

  • Clicking the big red button again will pause the video. This is helpful is before class a student has a question, and you need to quickly stop the recording without stopping the entire lecture recording.

  • Minimize the program by clicking on the minus button on the top right corner of the screen.

    • Do NOT close the application (little 'x' on the top right) until you have stopped the recording.

  • Maximize the application by clicking on the Kaltura Classroom icon from the menu bar on the bottom of the screen and click the Stop icon when you are done recording.
