Kaltura's Webcam Recorder works within any WebRTC-enabled internet browser and is entirely browser-based. A good browser option is Chrome. No additional software or plugins are needed. The Webcam Recorder offers basic webcam video, screen capture and audio recording.  Other capture software to consider using are Kaltura Capture or TechSmith Camtasia. We recommend you keep your recordings relatively short: 5-10 minutes.
