If you are not technical, there's only one difficult step, and that is finding the IP address of your Ultimaker printer. You can get this from your printer's menu:
* Open the "System" section
* Now pick "Network"
* When you select "Connection status", the IP address is shown at the bottom. It will be 4 numbers with dots in between.
After you have the IP address, you can open this URL in your browser to verify it:
Now there are a few options to record the video. The cheapest and quickest is probably to use Camstudio to grab the video from the screen. Camstudio is a free and opensource application that allows you to easily record anything on your screen. http://camstudio.org/

We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.

I discovered an easy way to record the stream: VLC media player. It records directly from the stream, unlike screen capture software.
I've written a bit about it on my blog: http://www.streamhead.com/recording-ultimaker-3-webcam/
