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 by following these steps:
To add users:
- Click +Add Users.
- In the Add Users window, start typing a user or group name to display user names/group names and select a user/group to add.
- 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.
- Click Add to add the selected user with the specified permission
- Click Save to apply your changes.
We sometimes receive requests for shared Kaltura accounts. Because Kaltura uses SSO, 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.
