Camtasia Relay Tutorial:

Verify the Installation

The purpose of this step is to create one user account, one publish destination, one profile and make one recording. This will take you through the entire Camtasia Relay process and ensure everything is set up properly. It will also help you better understand the “big picture” and should help you make better decisions when implementing Camtasia Relay on a large scale.

To Verify the Installation

1. Click Profiles > Publish Destinations. Add a publishing destination such as an FTP server, File system (e.g. network drive), etc.
2. Add yourself as a user with presenter access. (Administrators cannot make recordings.)
3. Create a Profile. Select some encode formats and choose the publish destination you just made.
4. Assign the Profile to your presenter user account.
5. Download the recorders from System > Recorder Download and install. (We do not recommend installing the Camtasia Relay recorder on the server as a means to verify your setup.)
   

   The Camtasia Relay recorder is available only after the server installation and setup process is complete. Your server URL is hard-coded into the recorder. Administrators and presenters can download the recorder from the Help section on the Camtasia Relay website. If you are running multiple versions of Camtasia Relay on separate networks, ensure that people are using the corresponding recorder.

6. Log in to the Camtasia Relay recorder. Enter the presenter account username and password created on the Camtasia Relay website. (e.g. don’t use the RelayAdmin username.)
7. Select the profile you created.
8. Record your desktop activity for a minute or two. Stop the recording and click Submit.
9. Sign in to the Camtasia Relay website using the same username and password you entered into the recorder. You can view the status of your recording and experience the website from a presenter point of view.
10. Verify that the presentation processes and publishes correctly.
