If you have already used in room lecture capture or completed the online consent form, you will already have an account. If you arranged for lectures to be recorded, you will have access to those course spaces as an instructor or owner.

However, if you have never used the Lecture Capture service to record a lecture or event, you are unlikely to have an account. You will also not have spaces available for ad hoc course recordings, or access to courses you are new to teaching on.

Therefore, please email lecturecapture@warwick.ac.uk with the following information:

• your ITS username,
• where you plan to publish your content. For example, module code(s) or Moodle space(s).

Please wait for confirmation that an account has been created before trying to log in. You will be asked to set a password for the system. Do not use the same password as your University ITS account.
