Share your videos with colleagues

Whenever you decide to share your videos with colleagues, you should make sure that you’re clear on the kind of acknowledgement or citation you expect to be embedded alongside the video. This allows you to have greater control over how the video can be reused and in which contexts it should be reused.

In Kaltura, you can add this information to the description at the time of uploading your video or later on by editing the video details in My Media.

You can put your recommended reference in the description of the video. In the case of a video like this one in Kaltura Media Space, the recommendation might look like:

You may need to make your educational videos available for co-teachers to re-use, remix or recycle. Kaltura has a couple of features that enable this.

Add collaborators and change ownership

By default, only you have access to videos you upload to Kaltura. If you add collaborators to the video, then they will have access according to the permissions you give them. These include:

• co-publisher– can publish the video on a Canvas site or to the Shared repository
• co-editor – can edit the name or other details in the video
• co-viewer – can view the video in their My Media list

If you publish your video to the Shared Repository, then anyone at UTS has access to view and reuse your video in their own subject.

‘Collaboration’ allows you to share certain editing or viewing permissions with other teachers and collaborators.

To change the owner of the video, select ‘Change media owner’ and a prompt box will appear – you will simply need to input the new owner’s SID into the empty field, this will then transfer the media ownership to the new owner.

If the new owner doesn’t show up in the options, this may be because they’ve never logged into Kaltura before. Ask them to go into Canvas and enable My Media in their Sandpit or subject. They can also login to Kaltura via kaltura.uts.edu.au to automatically activate their account.

‘Add a Collaborator’ will allow others to view a private video or receive permission to edit the video’s information and content. To add a collaborator to the video, select ‘Add a Collaborator’ and a prompt box will appear – you will simply need to input the collaborators SID into the empty field, then select one of the following 3 options:

Publish a video for reuse

When you upload media files with Kaltura, you get a choice to allocate it to your faculty and also to make it published or private. Publishing a video to the Shared Repository means that others will be able to find it by filtering for your faculty.

You might also want to add some tags to the video to help others identify what it is about. Keep in mind that once a video is automatically captioned, tags will be created automatically based upon those captions. You can then add more or edit what the tags are.
