Lecture Capture You'll Actually Use
Relay is the easiest way to create and share accessible videos that improve student success.
How it Works
1. Record videos
Start with a simple web-based video recorder that works right from your computer or Learning Management System, in a few clicks.
2. Share and manage content
Videos are uploaded to an easy-to-navigate online video library. Edit in your browser and easily share with a link, embed code, or directly in LMS courses.
3. Measure learning
Track results in real-time with Relay's built-in analytics and in-video quizzing. Send scores automatically to the LMS gradebook.
Lecture capture across your campus
Relay makes recording lectures easy and consistent—in a lecture hall, office, or anywhere in between. Deploy the recorder from any web browser, no admin rights needed, on as many computers as you want. Relay's collaboration with Matrox® now offers hands-off classroom capture and scheduling.
Seamless LMS integration
Create videos easily within your existing Blackboard, Moodle, Canvas, Brightspace, or other LMS. Instructors can send videos directly to their course folders, and students can access videos - no additional login needed. Analytics and quiz scores are reported automatically to the gradebook.
Easily create accessible videos
Relay includes built-in speech-to-text to generate closed captions, or you can add closed captions to your videos. The web-based caption editor streamlines caption editing and includes an automatic ADA guidelines-checker. Quickly see where to adjust captions to meet guidelines and stay compliant.

“Odessa College experienced more than ten times the adoption at one third the cost of our previous system, all within six months of introducing TechSmith Relay.”

The simplest way to let instructors create and share lecture videos
Instructors need to create videos for their courses, but get held back by expensive, complicated systems. Relay gives you an easy and cost-effective way to create and maintain videos for online learning.
Greater adoption
Get more instructors and students using lecture capture, without the constant need for IT support. Relay’s recorder is available on any computer, from your web browser or LMS. Or use automated recording in your class lectures, so instructors can focus on teaching, not creating video.
Better engagement
Create an interactive online learning experience. Know if students are watching the content with quizzing and built-in analytics. Turn any PowerPoint presentation into rich, personal video content.
Improved course completion
Instructors can track student data to find strengths and weaknesses. They are able to provide quick responses to students, follow along with their performance, and guide them in the right direction.
How much is an unused video platform really costing you?
How many instructors aren't using your current solution? How many videos go unwatched because they don't engage students? How many potential videos aren't getting created because the system is too complicated? Besides the money, a lack of an easy-to-use system may already be costing you a great deal.
