Kaltura - Changes Coming to the Player and Canvas Integration August 15th
Posted: 2024-07-25 12:56:46 Expiration: 2024-09-20 12:56:46
Two changes are coming to Kaltura on August 15th. Kaltura will use a new Player for viewing and embedding video content and the Kaltura Canvas integration will be migrated to LTI 1.3 (from 1.1). Existing content will continue to work with no adjustments needed, but moving forward all embeds will use the new Kaltura Player and LTI 1.3.
-
New Player: The new player will be presented when embedding Kaltura content in Canvas or through share links in Mediaspace. The new player has an updated look & feel, enhanced security and faster load times. It also includes a Transcript widget in every version of the player, eliminating the need to select a specific Transcript player. The Transcript widget flies in from the side and is no longer a separate section beneath the video.
-
LTI 1.3: The LTI migration is mostly a back end change, but does have one front end impact. Currently, there are two Course Navigation items available, Kaltura Gallery and Kaltura My Media. Kaltura My Media is also available under Account Navigation by clicking Account - Kaltura My Media. After this change, Kaltura My Media will only be available from Account Navigation. Kaltura Gallery will be the only item available in the Course Navigation. Kaltura My Media is user specific access to your video content and was confusing when included at the Course level.

Key Takeaways:
-
All of the new Kaltura Player options include an interactive Transcript widget.
-
Kaltura My Media within Canvas will be found under Account - Kaltura My Media and will no longer be available as a Course Navigation item.
