Kaltura MediaSpace: Channels and multiple contributors

Overview

In Kaltura, a video portal channel is a user-generated collection of content organized around a specific theme or topic. It serves as a centralized media library where users can upload, store, and share various types of media, such as videos, images, audio files, and documents.

If you are part of a team that wants to collaborate on videos and content together, you will likely want to set up a channel. Once you create your channel, you can manage membership. 

To add users to your channel

1. Log in to Kaltura MediaSpace.
2. From the personal menu in the top navigation bar, select Channels.
3. Select the edit (pencil icon) when hovering over the channel image. 
4. Select the Users tab. 
5. Select +Add Users.
6. In the Add Users window, enter and select a user or group to add. 
7. Under Select permissions, select the user's permission:
   • Member - View channel content only.
   • Contributor - View channel content and add media to the channel.
   • Moderator - View channel content, add media to the channel, and moderate channel content.  
   • Manager - View channel content, add media to the channel, moderate channel content, and manage the channel (delegate managerial rights to additional users). Please note: A Manager cannot edit/modify media metadata inside the channel.
8. Select Add to add the selected user with the specified permission.

We sometimes receive requests for shared Kaltura accounts. Because Kaltura uses EntraID for authentication, shared accounts are not something we support. It is best practice for users who are leaving their roles to transfer ownership of content before their last day. All accounts are subject to 5.22 Acceptable Use of Computers and Information Technology Resources and Procedure 5.22.1.
