A new feature update of the Collaborative Video Annotation System (http://isit.arts.ubc.ca/support/clas). Record video from a webpage on nearly all devices and browsers, stored directly to an on-prem Kaltura media server installation. The recordings are then used as annotations on timelines of other videos.
