Kaltura My Media
Kaltura is a streaming video service that can adapt video playback quality to the needs of your students. It can play in HD when available or scale down to support mobile users on shaky internet connections. It supports captioning, adds a layer of security to your videos, and even lets you make some edits to your videos after you upload them!
Requirements
My Media is integrated with Brightspace. You can access it by logging in to D2L Brightspace and clicking on the My Media link in the navigation. If you do not see that link, contact our Learning Technology Help Desk faculty support.
Media Retention
Media stored in Kaltura that are actively used will be stored indefinitely. However, media that isn’t viewed will be removed by Kaltura using the following guidelines.
After 2 years without any views or plays, the streaming versions of media will be removed, and after 4 years without any views or plays, the source media and any supporting files (captions, etc.) will be deleted.
