• All students and staff who use the Kaltura Capture recorder must sign out of the recorder immediately and connect it to the new Kaltura location at mymedia.northampton.ac.uk before making any new recordings.
• Do not make any recordings using Kaltura Capture unless you are sure that you are connected to mymedia.northampton.ac.uk, as any recordings made while signed in to the old version of the Kaltura Capture recorder will no longer be able to be uploaded to NILE.
