3. Scroll until you find the Kaltura Gallery menu option. Click the three dot kabob menu and click on Enable:

7. Click the Channel Actions button in the upper right and select Edit:
   
8. The Edit Media Gallery screen will display. Here you can:
   
   1. Create Media Gallery channel playlists. For more information see - Kaltura - Using Channels in Kaltura MediaSpace [UW-Madison]. The article currently describes channel playlists in MediaSpace but can also be applied to Kaltura Media Gallery playlists in Canvas as well.
   2. Edit the description of your Canvas Kaltura Gallery / Media Gallery.
   3. Add tags to your Canvas Kaltura Gallery / Media Gallery.
   4. Checking Moderate content means that student additions to the media gallery will not appear to other students in the course until you approve it.
   5. Checking Enable comments in channel allows anyone in the course to comment on each piece of media in the channel.
   6. Checking Keep comments private to channel makes the comments visible only to people in your Canvas course (as opposed to also in Kaltura MediaSpace for example). We recommend selecting this if media is in more than one channel.
   7. Checking Display embedded media in this Media Gallerywill add media embedded in your Canvas course to the Kaltura Gallery / Media Gallery.
      
      Do NOT check this option if you have Canvas assignments where students are embedding media as part of their assignment. If you check this box student embedded media will be visible in the Canvas Kaltura Gallery / Media Gallery!
   8. Click Save to save your settings.
   9. Click Back to Channel to go back the home page of your Canvas Kaltura Gallery / Media Gallery.

Learn@UW-Madison recommends embedding media in Canvas pages and then organized in a module. This way students know exactly what video they are supposed to watch when. Embedding media from your course media gallery in your Canvas course is very similar to how an instructor normally embeds media in a Canvas course with one important change.

1. In your Canvas course, go to the Canvas page, discussion post, or quiz discussion you want to embed Kaltura media in. Click Edit.
2. Move your cursor to the point in your Canvas item where you want to insert Kaltura media.
3. Click the blue V icon to view the More External Tools menu. Select Embed Kaltura Media from the drop-down list:
   
4. A Kaltura Media window will open. This is where the workflow changes from regular embedding of Kaltura Media. Click on Media Galleries at the top and search for or select the course media gallery that you want to embed a media item from:
   
   If the course media gallery that you want to use is not listed, check to see if that course is published. It needs to be published to display here. If you do need to publish your course, it will take 15-30 minutes before it will display as an option.
   
5. After you have selected the course media gallery you want to embed media from the Kaltura Gallery screen will display media from that channel.
   
6. Scroll to or search for the media you want to embed. Click the </> Embed button next the media you want to embed:
   
   Optional: If you would like to customize how your media is embedded in Canvas, instead of clicking the </> Embed button, click the gear button. More information on the options available with the gear button are outlined in Canvas - Upload and Embed a New Kaltura Mediaspace Video in a Canvas Page [UW-Madison] .
7. The video will show up on your Canvas page. You can continue to edit the page and add text if you'd like. Once you're done click the Save button.
   
8. Canvas will display your page with your embedded Kaltura video.
