Sharing and Downloading Kaltura Media

Instructors at UConn will be able to share Kaltura videos outside of HuskyCT. You first need to publish your page, and then you can get a link to the video that you can share.

Publish Video

1. Go to Mediaspace.
2. Click on the Guest drop down (upper right) and click My Media. You will then be prompted to login with your NetID and NetID password.

4. Select Unlisted from the publish page to allow anyone viewership for the video. This will allow anyone you share the link with to view the content. 
   
5. Click Save to update the setting.  Then you can click Back.
   
6. To get the link to share with others, go to your media page. Click on the video you’d like to get the link for, and click Share to view the link. You can now copy this link and share it with others.
