Kaltura My Media is your personal media storage. It is different for each user because it shows media you, yourself, have uploaded or created over time. The same “My Media” list is available to you from each channel or course, and items in My Media can be published in one or more channels or courses. Items in My Media are private to you until they are published somewhere. You can also add other users as collaborators on your media from within My Media.

If you get an error message when trying to access My Media, switch to the Firefox web browser. After you have authorized Canvas and Kaltura to connect in Firefox the My Media link should work correctly in other browsers like Google Chrome.  

By default, media that you upload is private. You can access private media on My Media. On My Media, you can grab the embed code of private media or publish it to a Media Gallery for a specific course.

Publishing media makes the media publicly accessible to users. You can publish media: 

• In multiple Media Galleries
• Only when file conversion is complete and the media is not waiting for moderation

Click + Add New to see the list of options for adding media.

Media Upload - upload media from your desktop.

Express Capture - enables recording your webcam directly from the browser without the need to install any additional software. 

YouTube - add media from YouTube, replace YouTube links, and obtain analytics for YouTube entries. 

Kaltura Capture - desktop recorder that enables easy video creation anywhere by anyone. This option is only available from My Media and via Embedding Kalutra Media through the Rich-Text Editor. It will require you to download and install the program, so you will need administrator rights for the computer you wish to use it on.

Video Quiz - seamlessly embed multiple choice questions at any point in a video. As users watch the video, each question appears at its chosen point; the video continues after the user answers the question. Flexible settings allow quiz creators to choose whether to allow users to repeat sections, skip questions, revise answers, receive hints, and discover the correct answers. 

Note:

When in a course Media Gallery you will need to click + Add Media before you will see ADD NEW as an option. 

The Kaltura Browse and Embed (BSE) tool can be used to embed Kaltura media content wherever the rich-text editor is available, such as in announcements, assignments, discussions, forums, etc.   

Users can:

• Browse, Search, and Embed media from their Kaltura My Media
• Browse, Search, and Embed content from a single course or from multiple course Media Galleries
• Browse, Search, and Embed Content from a Shared Repository (available to Faculty only)
• Upload or create new content and embed on the fly

To use the Browse and Embed tool:

1. Create an item in which the Canvas Rich-Text Editor is available.
2. Select the Embed Kaltura Media button. 
   
3. The Embed Kaltura Media window allows you to select content from a number of different Kaltura repositories.   Depending on the configuration of your Kaltura account, you may see one or more of the following repository options:  My Media, Media Gallery, Share Repository, and Media Gallery Playlists from which to add content.
   • Users also have the option to upload and create new content on the fly by clicking on the Add New button.
4. Click on the Embed button that is displayed for the desired media content to have it embedded within the Canvas Rich-Text Editor.

The Media Gallery is a central location within each course where users can search or view rich media assigned to the course. Only users enrolled in that course will be able to view the media assigned to the course Media Gallery. Media can be added by managers, instructors, or users, with an option to moderate users' contributions.

"Access Denied" Error Messages for Kaltura Videos Copied from Other Courses

If your students report an "Access Denied" error message on embedded Kaltura videos, they cannot view those videos in their current course.

Due to known issues with how embedded content functions during course copies or imports, it is recommended to refresh your videos every time a course is reused.

To fix the issue, embedded videos need to be removed and replaced. To replace a video please follow the instructions under BROWSE AND EMBED.

To meet ADA requirements, all course videos need to be captioned. Videos uploaded to Kaltura will be automatically machine captioned, however, these captions will include errors. Best practice for Captions should be delivered with 99% accuracy, so the automatically generated captions will need to be reviewed and corrected. For more information, see the page on Captioning from Access & Accommodation Services. 

To correct the Caption files for the videos you upload to Kaltura, see the instructions on the following pages.

A-State Resources

Account Manager

Questions about the A-State account can be directed to Kevin Downum, kdownum@astate.edu. 

To facilitate and sustain the ability for faculty to gain quick access to Zoom recordings that are older than 14 days, a web page has been created to provide you access to your videos on the A-State media server at this link: https://media.AState.edu/recordings/index.php.  In addition to past Zoom recordings, you will have access to all other videos stored under your account on the A-State media server from past semesters.

These videos can be shared in your Canvas classes by using the Download button to save a copy of the file to your computer. You can then use the Media Upload option in Kaltura to add the video to your Kaltura account. See the section on Kaltura for instructions on sharing Kaltura videos in your class.
