Camtasia Relay Tutorial:

Distribute the Portable Recorder

Learn about the Camtasia Relay portable recorder and how to get it to Camtasia Relay presenters.

Provide the portable recorder to presenters if there is any reason that presenters cannot (or should not) record and upload directly from the presentation computer. For example:

  • Presenters record on computers where they do not have permission to install applications.
  • Presenters record on computers that have limited or no network access.
  • You want to collect the presentations and upload them collectively at a later time.

Portable Recorder Access Options

Administrators can decide how they would like presenters to access the portable recorder. Go to Settings > System Options to set the Portable Recorder Download option. Available options are as follows:

Option

Description

Available by Download only

The portable recorder is available on the website. Presenters can log in to the website and download the portable recorder and transfer it to a mobile storage device, such as a USB.
You may want to use this option if you feel presenters are reasonably “technical” and understand downloading and unzipping files.

Available by Email Request only

There is a button available on the website to request a portable recorder. Presenters can log in to the website and click this link to send an email request to the administrator.
You may want to use this option if you feel presenters are very “not technical” and may not understand downloading and unzipping files. The administrator will receive an email that the user requested a portable recorder. You can put the portable recorder on a mobile storage device and give it to the presenter.

Not Available

There is no way for a presenter to download or request a portable recorder.
You may want to use this option if you will handle distributing all portable recorders.
Even if they do not have access to the portable recorder, presenters will still be able to find information about it in the Help and other locations.

Prepare Portable Recorder for Presenters

If you choose to have presenters contact an administrator to receive a portable recorder, you will want to install the Camtasia Relay portable recorder on a mobile storage device and distribute to presenters. Use the following process to install the portable recorder on a mobile storage device, such as a USB flash drive.

  1. Plug in a mobile storage device and format the device as FAT32.
  2. Click Download Portable Recorder and save the .zip file to your computer.
  3. Locate and open PortableCamtasiaRelay.zip.
  4. Copy all files from the .zip file onto the mobile storage device.

All files from the .zip need to be copied to the root of the device for the Camtasia Relay portable recorder to autorun on Microsoft Windows.
