Recording a Video in Tegrity

Occasionally, your instructor may ask you to record a video in Tegrity. In order to accomplish this, you will need a few pieces of equipment.

1.  Your computer.
2. A high-speed internet connection.
3. A microphone input (most webcams have one).
4. A webcam (if the instructor is requiring video).

OR

1. A smartphone with the Tegrity App installed. NOTE: Due to some issues with the app, you may want to simply record the video on your smartphone’s camera, then upload it using the “Upload a Video to Tegrity” instructions.

Once you have the required materials in place, please follow the directions below in order to record a video directly into Tegrity.
