Introduction
Screencasting records a digital device’s screen and audio (typically spoken narration). This practice creates content for participants to engage with at their own time and pace. Common examples are tutorials, presentations, and lectures/lessons.

- Examples,
- Prepare:
- Consider creating a script if you’re planning to record audio or narrate
- Practice.
- Select an NYU tool:
- Kaltura Capture can record a device’s screen, audio, and presenter’s face. This will produce a video in your NYU Stream that can be embedded in Brightspace.
- PowerPoint allows recording of audio and presenter’s face for each slide. This approach will chunk screencasting/recording throughout a presentation.
- Zoom sessions can record the device's screen, audio, and presenter’s face. The host of a meeting can save, download, and upload a recording into NYU Stream or
- Share content in Brightspace
- Add a PowerPoint or NYU Stream video via Brightspace’s “Content”. By adding the content under a created “Unit” or within a created “HTML Document”.
- Ongoing usage
- The content can be reused in future Brightspace content migrations.
