Frequently Asked Questions

How do I share a link to a Kaltura recording (within the university) in a way that prevents downloads and additional sharing?

1) Login to Penn State Kaltura and go to the My Media tab in the top menu.

2) From My Media, click on the video you’d like to share.

3) On the video page, below your video, click on the Actions dropdown menu, and choose Edit.

4) In the editing window, below your video, click on Collaborations. Choose Add Collaborator.

5) Type in the user’s PSU ID (abc123) and click their name from dropdown. (See Trouble Shooting below if you get “No Matches Found”)

6) Set the permissions to Co-Viewer. Click Add.

7) Next, In the editing window, below your video, click on Downloads. Make sure none of the boxes are checked.

8) Next, click on Publish. Make sure the video is set to Private.

9) Next, on the top left of the screen, go back to your media page.

10) On the video page, below your video, click on the Share tab. Copy the link and send it to your user(s). The video will only be viewable to users you add in the Collaborations tab.

Troubleshooting

If you try to add a collaborator and get a message that says “No Matches Found“, that means the user isn’t yet in the Kaltura system. They’ll need to go to Penn State Kaltura and login with their PSU ID. After they login, they will be in the system and you can add them to the collaboration list.
