Kaltura - How to Change Publication Settings to Media in Kaltura MediaSpace [UW-Madison]
Overview of publication settings
Publishing an item in MediaSpace designates where that item will be located and who will be able to view it. Media can be published as private, as unlisted, or to categories and/or channels. Categories are administrator-created containers. They are located in the navigation bar of mediaspace.wisc.edu. Channels are user-created collections that are personally managed. All channels can be accessed through the "Channels" link in the navigation bar, while your personal channels can be accessed by clicking the user icon (in the upper right), then "My Channels". Instructors who want to embed their content in Canvas don't need to worry about publishing settings. Using the embedding workflow automatically publishes your media to your Canvas course!

Be careful about publishing media as unlisted and sharing links to that media in Kaltura MediaSpace. Users can view the media but also share links and re-embed unlisted media. Do not use it with media with copyrighted material in it. This setting is often used to allow users to create oEmbeds that work with Pressbooks and WordPress which is safer than sharing links to unlisted media in MediaSpace.
