To Embed a Video from Kaltura
- In the Content section of your course, select the module to which you want to add a video.
- Select "New" > "Create a File"
- Enter the title you want to appear as the title of the link within the module. Then, select the "Insert Stuff" button on the left of the formatting toolbar.
- Select "Add Kaltura Media".
- Select the video you want to insert from the list of videos available by clicking "Select" button and "Large" for screen size.
Note: You must be the owner of the video for it to appear on your list.
- Once it loads/displays, select the "Insert" button.
- Recommended Practice: Add the word "Video" to the title followed by the length of time in parenthesis. (See image below.) The length of the video can be obtained from the bottom bar of the video screen. This will allow the viewer to recognize the link as a video file and know exactly how long it will take to watch the video.
- Select the "Publish" button.
