Kaltura Help Guide

This is a comprehensive Guide to the Kaltura Video Platform. It includes instructions for: (1) creating and uploading videos, (2) creating interactivity in Kaltura Videos, and (3) adding Kaltura videos to Moodle.

Adding a Kaltura Video to Moodle 

Video can take up a lot of server space, and keeping Moodle courses below 500MB is recommended. The Kaltura Video Platform server has unlimited space to host videos.

Once you have added a video to MyMedia, you can add it as a single resource in a course. By selecting Add an Activity or Resource and selecting:

Kaltura Video Presentation and Kaltura Video Resource Icons

Note. These two resources are identical.

Step 1

Select Kaltura Video Presentation or Kaltura Video Resource in the Add an Activity or Resource pop-up window.

Add an activity or resource

Step 2

Give the Resource a unique name and description, and then select the Add Media button under the Video heading.

Give the resource a unique name

Step 3:

From the pop-up window, you can access the Shared Repository and Embed a video into the activity or you can embed a video from your MyMedia.

If the video is from another faculty member it might be in the Shared Repository. If it is a video in your Kaltura My Media, it will be listed on your My Media.

You can access the Shared Repository or upload a video from your MyMedia.

Step 4

Select Save and Return to Course or Save and Display.

Select Save and Return to Course or Save and Display
