Video tools for teaching
Decide which tool you will use to make your recording. The University supported systems that will provide auto-generated transcripts are Echo360, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams (with Microsoft Stream).
There are many other tools that can be used to create recordings that will generate auto-transcripts. Staff are free to use these tools to generate accessible resources though support will be more limited.

Zoom
University of Glasgow licensed. Provides auto-generated transcripts to students along with the recording.
Microsoft Stream and Teams
Microsoft Stream
A service that lets you upload, view, and share videos across the University of Glasgow.
You can share recordings of classes, meetings, presentations, training sessions, or other videos. You can share videos individually, or to a chosen group or channel for members to have access to.
Recordings in Microsoft Stream can not be longer than 15 minutes. You can share and upload longer videos created using other tools to Stream.
Microsoft Teams
Recordings in Microsoft Teams automatically save to Stream. You can use Teams to host live meetings, classes and seminars.
Kaltura
Kaltura is the centrally supported video system that allows you to embed video into Moodle courses.
Kaltura is designed to allow you to capture, host and share video-based content. You can monitor how many views each video is getting, and which areas of your content is getting the most engagement. Kaltura also allows you to create in-video quizzes and ‘lean forward’ engaging content via the use of interactive video.
