How to Begin the Kaltura Auto-captioning Process 

Captions make your video more accessible. Kaltura Mediaspace uses computer-based speech recognition to create captions that are approximately 75% accurate and should be used only when the captions can be reviewed and edited for accuracy. 

Machine captions take a minimum of 5-10 minutes to process for short videos and can take twice as long as the video length to process captions for longer videos. 

To request captions with your Kaltura video,

1. Sign in to Kaltura Mediaspace.

2. Click on your name or the person silhouette icon in the upper right corner and select My Media.

4. Click the Actions drop-down menu (upper right corner) and select Caption & Enrich.

Application and Limitations

To keep Zoom meeting recordings longer than 150 days, the meeting recording needs to be transferred from the cloud to Kaltura. Kaltura is not considered long-term storage and videos in Kaltura should be reviewed within two years. 

Only Zoom hosts can access Zoom cloud recordings. 

Avoid these Pitfalls

  • To keep your Zoom recording visible in My Media within Kaltura Mediaspace, add yourself as a collaborator prior to transferring ownership to G-ENGR-EPD. 
  • Transfer Zoom cloud recordings within 150 days to prevent automatic deletion. 

You may choose to receive an email notification 7 days prior to the deletion of Zoom cloud recordings by following these steps:

1. Sign in to your Zoom account (uwmadison.zoom.us) and choose Settings from the menu on the left side of the screen.

2. Choose Email Notification and toggle on the notification for when the cloud recording is going to be permanently deleted from trash.
