Kaltura - Advanced Video Embed Options
Kaltura is the video portal for instructors, students, and staff across the Universities of Wisconsin. Kaltura is fully integrated with Canvas, so it's easy for users to embed their Kaltura videos into Canvas courses. If video owners want more flexibility than Kaltura's default embed options offer, Kaltura's "Embed Settings" opens up more options.
Note: These features were enabled on 05/20/2019.
Embed Settings button
To use Kaltura's Embed Settings, go to any Canvas Page, Assignment, Discussion, etc, which allows you to edit text.
1) Click Edit or Reply to open the text editing view.
2) In the new Rich Content Editor, click the asterisk-shaped My Media button (or click the electrical plug-shaped Apps icon > View All > My Media)
3) On the My Media page, scroll to the video you want and click the gear icon to the right of the title.
4) Select the options you want, then click Embed.
Options
The Embed Settings screen offers the following options:
Choose Player
Embed the default video player; a "Download and Share Player" which exposes download, permalink, and social media sharing options to viewers; a "Simplified Player" with fewer features exposed; or a "Transcript Player" which provides an expanded view of captions during playback.
Audio-Only Player
For audio-only files, Kaltura automatically selects an audio-only player which takes up less screen space than the video player. Users can choose two sizes: 350x80 pixels or 600x80 pixels.
Max Embed Size
Choose a small (400x285 px), medium (608x402 px), or large (900x507 px) video player for your users.
Auto Play
Choose whether a video plays automatically on page load or not.
Start & End Time
Show users a selected clip of a larger video by setting the video to start and end playback at specific times. Note: users can still choose to play the entire video.
