VERY IMPORTANT: Kaltura is for original created content, not copyrighted content. Additionally, during upload it is best to have a wired connection to minimize uploading disruptions and technical errors. We also recommend using Firefox or Chrome as your browser.
Uploading Existing Media to Kaltura
If you already have media (audio or video) created, you can upload it to Kaltura’s My Media.
- Open a web browser and go to Blackboard.
- Click Tools on the left.
- Click Kaltura My Media.
- In the top right corner, click +Create.
- Select Upload from the list.
- Drag and drop your video file into the section, or click Select files to browse.
While uploading, you can change the filename if desired by clicking Edit in the bottom right corner. Click Save after any changes.
- Once "Ready," you can click the Back link in the top left corner to return to your My Media gallery and view the video!
Something to Note: you can change the publishing setting to be either Private OR Published as this does not affect the video's ability to play when embedded it into content.
After the upload is successful you will be able to embed your video to your assessment! There are multiple places where these videos can be submitted and these articles should help with each:
