Kaltura MediaSpace is UW-Madison's media streaming service and is integrated with Canvas. Kaltura media can be embedded wherever Canvas allows you to use the rich content editor. We recommend instructors start here if they already have media in Kaltura MediaSpace

Note: to upload and embed an new Kaltura Mediaspace item in a Canvas course, please see Canvas - Upload and Embed a New Kaltura Mediaspace Video in a Canvas Page [UW-Madison]

Note: You can also embed other media sources, such as Youtube videos. Please see Instructure's Canvas Community site for instructions on adding other video sources, including Youtube media.

Embedding Kaltura media in a Canvas Page or other Canvas tool is an easy way to make your Kaltura media available to your students. Embedded media provides more context and keeps the student in Canvas rather than sending them to an external link outside of Canvas. It also allows Kaltura to collect more detailed analytics.

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 Embed Kaltura Media button which looks like the colorful Kaltura logo. If your browser is not of sufficient width you may need to click on the three dot button on the right to expand the menu to see the button:
    
   
4. A window titled Kaltura Media will open showing the media content associated with your Kaltura account. By default it is on the My Media tab. These directions assume you are embedding a video you already uploaded. You can also:
   • Upload a new video (see above)
   • Embed a video from a course media gallery: If you are using a course media gallery, first click on the Media Galleries drop-down menu at the top of the screen and click on your media gallery. More information on using media galleries is available in Kaltura - Using "Kaltura Gallery" Course Media Galleries and Analytics in Canvas [UW-Madison] 
5. If you are embedding a piece of media you already uploaded, 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:
   
6. An Embed Settings window will display:
   
   
   1. Choose Player: Choose your player based on the type of media you are embedding. Video users can choose between the "Default Player" and "Download Player".  Both players automatically include a transcript widget if a closed caption file is available.
      
   2. Max Embed Size: Users can choose how large the media is displayed within the Canvas rich content editor.
   3. Thumbnail Embed: Turning thumbnail embed on renders an image that will display instead of the video player. The student needs to click on the image to load the player. Generally we recommend keeping this option turned off.
      
   4. Auto Play: Turning auto play on plays the media immediately when the student loads the page with the embedded media. We recommend you keep auto play off and let the student choose to play the media by clicking the "Play" button.
      
   5. Set as my default settings for media type: Video (or Audio, or Image): If you like the settings you have selected you can check this box to make future embeds use them without having to set them every time.
      
   6. Start at: Set the start time for the media item.
   7. End at: Set the end time for the media item.
      
   8. </> Embed: When you have set the options you want, click the </> Embed button to embed the media.
      
      If after embedding your Kaltura media you decide you'd like to change the options you selected it is easiest to delete your embedded media from the page and re-embed.
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:
