Overview
Kaltura is a video hosting and streaming service integrated with Bruin Learn. It can be accessed through the “My Media” link in the Account sub-menu, and the “Media Gallery” link in the course navigation menu. It is available for faculty and students to use in their courses, without restrictions to file size or storage limits. Kaltura is the recommended tool for storing and sharing media, offering automatically generated captions, and enhancing accessibility for all users.
Primary Benefits

Kaltura media can be published and made available in the “Media Gallery” section of a course. This includes videos, video playlists, and video quizzes. You can also use the browser-based Quick Recorder or the desktop Kaltura Capture app to create and edit new media.
