The new tool should be available as a pilot in Fall 2021. Our understanding is that the Kaltura service will be discontinued after Spring 2022 and will be replaced with a similar platform that is more suitable for our university, and OIT is currently in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The LDG team created a series of tutorials on Kaltura Capture that you can find on our Suggested Tools for Recording Videos page.

You can find more information on the Kaltura Rich Media Streaming page. OIT does not have a dedicated support page for Kaltura Capture as it is a part of Kaltura/My Media ecosystem (with full Canvas integration). The Learning Design Group understands that it might be challenging to 'switch' from one software to another, but we are here to help you with this transition!īelow you will find a list of tools available for CU Boulder faculty/staff to replace TechSmith Relay. With the current shift to hybrid/remote learning in 2020 due to COVID-19, OIT has expanded tools that allow instructors to record their lectures. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) at CU Boulder provides multiple alternatives to TechSmith Relay. You do not have to migrate any of your existing videos, they will remain in any Canvas course they have been added to and will still be in Canvas MyMedia. The videos that you have already recorded with TechSmith Rely are on the CU Boulder Kaltura server and are still available. We have made the difficult decision to decommission the TechSmith Relay service effective December 31, 2020. We are asking you to stop using TechSmith Relay to record any new videos.

TechSmith's business model has also recently changed, and we are not planning to subcribe for cloud hosting (Relay has been renamed to Knowmia and serves not just as a video creating tool, but mainly as a sharing platform). Our current license does not allow us to upgrade the software since we are self-hosting the Relay server on campus. Continuing Education at CU Boulder has been providing the TechSmith Relay service to instructors for over 10 years.
