Main menu

There are five buttons within the main menu to help you prepare for, preview, and record your content.

1. Record

This will start a recording of up to 120 minutes (subject to disk space on the computer you are using). Once the recording is complete, Stream Capture will save your recording and/or send it to stream.liv.ac.uk and then close. If you have chosen to automatically upload your video to stream.liv.ac.uk, then you will be prompted to send the video by clicking OK to confirm that you have permission to upload the recording you have made.
