• Only events timetabled via CMIS can be scheduled for recording. Check to make sure that your lecture is timetabled via CMIS.
• Ensure the lecture is taking place in a Lecturecast enabled teaching space.
• Try searching for any other module codes assigned to your lecture e.g. ECON1001 and ECON1001A as only one code will feed into the scheduler for each event. You could also try doing a search using the ‘Location’ field.
• Event information is brought into the scheduler on a 3 month rolling basis. Your event will need to occur within the next 3 months to be visible in the Lecturecast Scheduler.

In most cases editing Lecturecast recordings is not strictly necessary and the choice to edit or not is the personal preference of the presenter (or decided by departmental policy). It is important however, where for example, personal conversations between event attendees may have been inadvertantly recorded, that these be removed. When scheduling recordings there is an option to make recordings automatically available to students or to hold them back for review before making them available.
Instructors can make any recording available or unavailable at any time and if material does need to be removed it's recommended that recordings are made unavailable until any edits have been completed and processed.

By default, downloads (MP4 files of screen presentation and audio) are disabled but may be enabled at section level by anyone with instructor access to the section. Note that before enabling or disabling content download, instructors should consult their colleagues teaching on the same module and check whether or not there is a departmental policy regarding the availability of downloadable recordings.

Issue: The capture preview appears to jump around between frames.  The completed capture is however fine. 

Advice: Mac PCAP users can still complete personal captures on High Sierra by starting the capture normally even though the preview does not display properly.

Echo (Lecturecast service providers)  are working on a new capture application that will resolve the issue  and they hope to have a beta application available for users in early 2018.

If your students see an error message like below:

This likely indicates the student does not have permission to view the Lecturecast video they are trying to access.

Students and staff must click a Lecturecast activity link created by a tutor or course administrator in Moodle, before they can access any URL linked videos from the associated Lecturecast section.

Note. This guidance does not apply to Lecturecast videos embedded through the Moodle text editor. Videos embedded through the Moodle text editor are visible to students and do not require students to click through an activity link.

The Lecturecast activity link will appear alongside the Lecturecast icon on Moodle, and should display similar to the image below:

To create a Lecturecast activity link, see the guide Linking Moodle to Lecturecast. 

For guidance to students, see the student Lecturecast FAQ guide.

For example:

In the Moodle course ECON0001, a tutor or course administrator must create a Lecturecast activity link to the ECON0001 Lecturecast section. The Lecturecast activity link can either be to a home section, i.e. all the ECON0001 Lecturecast videos, or a specific video within a Lecturecast module section e.g. 'Intro to Financial Markets' in ECON0001. 

Students need to first click the activity link to gain access to the ECON0001 Lecturecast section.

Once they click the link, they can subsequently view any URL linked videos from the ECON0001 Lecturecast section without needing to follow the activity link again.
