Otago Capture is the University of Otago lecture recording system and has been installed in 45 lecture rooms, including rooms in Wellington and Auckland.

Otago Capture can record the audio and screen of lectures, as well as live-streaming, using Echo360 software and associated hardware devices.

Otago Capture can also be used to interact with students during the lecture, allowing students to add notes, flag items as confusing, and ask questions. Otago Capture also has a hardware device which can record what is displayed by the projector.
