CCRI is upgrading Medial to v9.1 on Wed 1/14/26 at 7:00 AM. New recordings will auto-caption automatically (captions can be edited). Existing videos won’t auto-caption—faculty must use Request Captioning, which now triggers auto-captioning (no admin approval). The recorder is now web-only by default; AI/quiz features are included with vendor docs linked.

This guide shows CCRI faculty how to record a lecture in Medial using the browser-based (web) recorder—including selecting screen/webcam options, granting mic/camera permissions, finishing and uploading the recording, and locating/editing captions before sharing or embedding the video in Blackboard.

As of January 2025, the Medial building block integration in Blackboard has been officially retired as part of a mandatory system wide update initiated by Blackboard. Existing Medial videos added via the mashup tool are no longer functional and redirect users back to the course dashboard when clicked. To ensure your video content remains accessible, you will need to manually re-embed videos into your Blackboard courses using embed codes from the Medial platform.
