Kaltura
Kaltura is the university's video hosting platform, and is best known for the "My Media" and "Media Gallery" sections in Canvas. Kaltura makes it possible to record, upload, and manage your videos without having to worry about file size restrictions or storage limits. While your Zoom cloud videos will auto-delete 30 days after they were recorded, your videos in Kaltura will remain there in perpetuity (unless your video isn't watched for 4 years, in which case it will be deleted). In addition, UC San Diego has enabled an integration such that all your Zoom cloud recordings are automatically added to your "My Media."
Our Multimedia Services Team provides a variety of tutorials divided into four sections: adding videos, editing videos, presenting videos, and troubleshooting. These tutorials are linked below. On this page, you'll also find links to recorded training sessions.

Editing Videos
Curious about what you can and should do to videos once they've been uploaded? These tutorials show what you can do to videos in "My Media," such as editing captions, making cuts, or adding chapters.
Presenting Videos
When videos are added to "My Media," they’re private to you by default. These tutorials demonstrate the variety of ways you can make your videos visible to students (and other users) in Canvas.
