Press Win + R to open the Run window.
Enter %localappdata% into the Open: field, as shown in the image below.
Click on Kaltura → Capture
Locate the .mp4 video that corresponds to your recording.
The file names are not descriptive, so you need to rely on the date modified to determine which video you need to re-upload.
Navigate to your My Media page.
Log in with your NetID.
Click Add New.
Select Media Upload.
Drag the .mp4 file you located in Step 4 onto the browser window to begin uploading. You will be able to rename it as it is uploading. Once finished, you will see a green banner telling you the upload is complete. The video will now process and you can close the window.
