Once you have finished recording a video using Kaltura Capture, you will need to upload your video to Kaltura’s My Media to use it on University of Arkansas sites and Blackboard courses. Additionally, you can upload pre-existing media to Kaltura. This article will walk you through those processes.

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.

After Uploading

When video processing is complete on My Media, check your video to ensure that during uploading no technical glitches happened. Once checked, the media can be shared online or on Blackboard by embedding it into lessons, adding it to Discussion Boards, or creating video quizzes from it. Students can also upload Kaltura media to submit as an assignment. If you want to do some basic video editing, you can use Kaltura’s editor online.
