Linnaeus University offers a free program (Kaltura Capture) to record and upload video to Moodle from your computer. It is available for Windows and Mac, but not for mobile devices or Chromebooks. It can be downloaded from the page "My Media" (Moodel-> Help & Resources -> My Media). By using this program you can record your web cam and/or what happens on your computer screen (for instance record a powerpoint presentation).

You do not have to install this software but can record via anything else that you like, including from Zoom. We have gathered some tips on software to use in this article at serviceportalen.

Regardless how you record, including recording on your mobile device, you should upload the finished recording to My Media in Moodle. That makes it easy to use in your courses.
