 Once the Kaltura integration opens, find the video you would like to embed or upload a new video using the "add new" button in the upper right of the page. All of your videos will be in the "my media" area.  The search bar can be used to search for the video that you are looking for. You can click the grey filter button to filter your videos. You can filter by media type, publish status, scheduling, ownership, captions, and duration. Videos can also be sorted using the "sort by" dropdown menu. You can sort by creation date, update date, alphabetically, plays, comments, and scheduling.

Clicking add new allows you to upload a new video to Kaltura, for more information about uploading videos to Kaltura please visit Kaltura at Syracuse University. 

After selecting the video, you can embed using the embed button on the right of the video or change the settings using the gear icon. Learn more about the embed settings below. Once the video is embedded, it will be visible in the content area or in the item it is embedded in. Then the Kaltura Video will behave as a standard content item and can be moved within your course if desired.

The embed settings allow you to include or exclude a transcript with the dropdown menu from "choose player". Note: if the transcript is enabled, the student is able to download the transcript. The "max embed size" lets you choose the size of the embed and determines how big the video will be where it is embedded. The thumbnail embed and autoplay can be turned on and turned off. 

Note

If you want to include a transcript, thumbnail embed cannot be enabled because it prevents the transcript from being shown. 

If you would like students to only view a section of the video when they first play it, you can enter a start and end time below the video. This will not prevent the student from watching the entire video, but will focus them on the section that you would like them to view.
