Part 1: Setting Up Your YouTube Account For Recordings Before you start your first recording, you will need to make sure that you have a YouTube account setup and ready to upload videos to. Note: You are able to use a non-‐GVSU YouTube account for uploading videos. If you would like to, skip to the next page. To do this, go to YouTube.com and click Sign In in the upper right corner of the screen. At the next screen, you will need to sign in with your full GVSU email address and GVSU network password. After clicking Sign In, it will direct you to the Grand Valley Email sign in page. Enter in only your GVSU username and password. Once you have clicked Login, YouTube will open and you will have successfully activated your YouTube account. Enter Full GVSU Email Address GVSU Username, Not Email
Next, go to gvsu.TechSmithRelay.com and log in with your GVSU username and password. If you log into the TechSmith Relay website and get an error looking like the one below, click on the YouTube link in the error itself. At the next page, you will need to enter your YouTube account information. If you are using your GVSU YouTube account, you will need to enter your GVSU Email in the space provided labeled “Username” and then your network password in the space labeled “Password”. After you have entered in your information, click save and your videos should load to your YouTube account. GVSU Email Address
The toolbar at the top will help you setup your computer for the recording process. If you have multiple audio inputs, you will need to select which one to use during the recording by clicking on the Audio button on the bar at the top. The audio levels will automatically adjust during your recording but you can also manually boost or lower the volume of your microphone. Note : If you are having difficulty selecting your microphone or adjusting your volume, you may also need to select and adjust the appropriate audio input via your computer’s sound manager. We also recommend using a USB wired or wireless microphone for recording. This type of microphone will produce better quality audio than your computer’s built-‐in microphone. If you are using more than one monitor display, click Display to select which monitor you would like to record. If you would like to use your webcam to record video of you during the presentation, click Camera. If you have multiple displays and want to record from a certain one, click on the Display button to select which monitor you want to use. Before officially recording your screencast, click Test to check that your audio levels and video are indeed recording as desired.
Once you’re ready to record, click the REC (record) button. A 3 second timer will appear, counting down the time before the recording will actually begin. The timer will then minimize so that it does not distract from your presentation. Note : If you are using a headset to record your screencast, you will not hear the audio through your headset during the actual recording process. Once you have finished recording your screencast, select the TechSmith Relay Recorder and click the Stop button. It may take a few moments for Relay to finalize your recording. Once your screencast has finalized but before submitting it for final processing, you have the option to trim the beginning and end of your presentation.
