✅ Overview
MEDIALecture Web lets you record your screen, webcam, microphone, or a combination directly in your browser—no local client installation required.
🚀 Start a Web Recording from the Medial Portal (medial.ccri.edu)
1) Log in and open the recorder
-
Go to medial.ccri.edu and sign in.
-
Click the Record button in the top navigation.
2) Choose what you want to record
In the recorder screen you can select:
-
Video (webcam only)
-
Screen (screen only)
-
Both (screen + webcam)
When recording your screen, you’ll choose one of:
-
🗂️ Tab
-
🪟 Window
-
🖥️ Entire Screen
✅ Helpful audio tip:
-
If recording a browser tab, look for the option to share tab audio.
-
If recording Entire Screen, look for the option to share system audio.
3) Allow permissions (first time only)
Your browser may prompt you to allow access to:
Click Allow so Medial can record.
4) Update the title (recommended)
Medial provides a default title/description that you can edit before recording.
(Optional) Adjust recording quality if needed (defaults are usually fine).
5) Record, pause/resume, and finish
✅ If your internet connection drops:
📝 Captions (Auto-Captioning + Editing)
✅ New Medial Recordings
After processing/encoding, captions may generate automatically depending on CCRI’s captioning settings. You will get a notification email when the captioning is complete. The processing time is based on the length of the video (the longer the video the longer the processing time).
✏️ Review and edit captions
Plan to review captions for accuracy (names, acronyms, terminology). Captions can be edited in the video’s edit area (your local UI labels may vary).
✅ Old Medial Recordings
Existing videos will not be auto-captioned automatically as part of the 9.1 upgrade but you can trigger the auto-captioning for each one you are actively using for course content by using the "Request Captioning" work flow.
📄 See KB: Medial Upgrade article to learn how to retro-auto-caption existing Medial videos in your library.
📌 Share / Embed in Blackboard
At this time, faculty may still embed Medial videos manually in Blackboard.
📄 See KB: Embed Medial in Blackboard (note: this will be updated for Ultra UI in the future).
