2. Discussions and Journals: Open a text editor > > Content Market > Kaltura Media LTI > </> Embed an existing recording or + Add New (e.g., Express Capture)

**Blackboard Recording videos OR Kaltura videos do not count towards your course storage limit.

3. Click on an individual student submission to enter the grading workflow

4. In the Feedback for student area, click on the video camera icon.

Note: If you only want to provide audio feedback, simply keep your camera off and continue with the steps.

7. A countdown will appear. You can pause or stop the recording, after which you can Delete recording or Save and Exit. (Note: As of Sept 2023, videos will have captions automatically created)

8. Click Save and Exit to embed the recording in the feedback.

9. Add additional text as needed, enter a grade, and then click Save.

To add a video response in a Discussion or Journal

Providing video feedback directly in a discussion or journal can be very effective in continuing the discussion back and forth between students. To do this, you can add a Kaltura video (with your feedback) directly in the discussion or journal.

1. Click on Kaltura Media LTI and My Media will open.

   1. Click on </> Embed and the media will be added to add media you already created in your Kaltura repository.

   2. Click on Add New to upload or create media.

2. Express Capture is a quick way to add media.

   

   1. For Express Capture, select the camera, microphone, and screen you want to record (one or more) and then click the red record button.

      

   2. Click the red button again to stop the recording. You can then click on Record Again, Download a Copy, or Use This.

   3. When you click Use This a window appears where you can edit the name, enter a description and tags, change the Publishing Status, and more.

   4. When you are finished, click </> Save and Embed. After the media processes, a thumbnail of the recording will appear in the post.

3. Click Respond in the lower right corner to post the media. For Journal posts, click Save.
