What Is Kaltura Video?
Categories: Instructional Video, Authoring
Kaltura is Clemson's enterprise video hosting solution (i.e. Clemson's YouTube). Available in Canvas and as a standalone tool, Kaltura is a video content management system that allows Clemson users to create or upload video files on the web and easily share them with others. Kaltura supports multiple media formats (i.e. mp4, AVI, FLV, MOV, etc.) and provides flexible video content authoring, publishing, and sharing.

Important
- Make sure that your device meets Kaltura's Supported Browsers and/or System requirements.
- In Kaltura documentation, some regions/features are named differently. Here is how to interpret each:
- "My Kaltura" is the same as "My Media" in Canvas.
- "Course Videos" is the same thing as "Media Gallery" in Canvas.
- "Entry" is another word for a single uploaded media file (typically a single video).
- There is a new video player that is in the process of being launched. The launch is being delayed by technical difficulties. When it launches, videos that were embedded with the current video player will need to be re-embedded before the videos will play in the new player. The old player has the video controls in either an orange or dark purple bar. The new player has a semi-transparent black background (much like the player used by Disney+).
