The UvA’s Kaltura MediaSpace can also be accessed via the Kaltura MediaSpace Go app.

• For iOS
• For Android

Make sure the right app is installed! The correct app is Kaltura MediaSpace Go, not KMS go for Regions. Install the App, click on ‘Enter URL’ or ‘your site’ and enter https://video.uva.nl/. Now log in using your UvAnetID and password. You now have access to the UvA’s Kaltura MediaSpace environment. Click on Home, followed by the plus icon in the lower right-hand section. The various options for creating and uploading audio, images and recordings will now be displayed.

Yes, you can. In this case, make sure to access the service through video.uva.nl.

Yes, you can. To do so, go to My Media,

• Click on the video you want to embed on your own website.
• Click on Share.
• Click on Embed to copy the code, which you can then paste to the website or other platform where you want to embed your video.

You will have to publish your video as Unlisted first in order to share it this way.

Option 1:

• Go to a Canvas course.
• Open the My Media menu.

Option 2:

• Log in to video.uva.nl.
• Select My Media.

In several places you will find the icon with the magnifying glass. This is the search function. You can search for any terms from the 'details' of your video, such as the name, description, tags, etc. If your videos have captions, you can also search for words from the captions. If you search in My Media and Media Gallery, you can use filters to filter and sort your videos.

Yes, videos can be searched via Search at the top right of the portal. 

Videos of others can only be seen if you are Co-Editor, Co-Publisher or Co-Viewer, this is determined by the owner of the video. You can determine this at My Media > Edit (pencil) > Collaborations > Media Collaborators. 

Using other people's videos is possible if you are Co-Publisher of the video, as described above.

Video files used in your Canvas course will only be visible within the course. If you are using videos uploaded through video.uva.nl, you can determine whether they should be public or private when publishing to Channels.

You can use Channels > +Create Channel to create a Channel, which can then be set to Private and shared exclusively with specific individuals. Once you have saved the Channel, you can add specific users on the Users tab and assign them an appropriate role:

• Member: exclusively has View permissions.
• Contributor: has View permissions and may add videos.
• Moderator: has View permissions, may add videos and is assigned the role of Channel Moderator.
• Manager: has View permissions, may add videos and is assigned the roles of both Channel Moderator and Channel Manager (authorised to assign specific roles and permissions to others).

Click on Back to Channel and add the videos using the +Add to Channel button.

Yes, you can do so via My Media.

• Select My Media.
• Click on the relevant video.
• Select the Publish option in the Actions menu.
• Select the Unlisted option.
• Click on Save.

You can also make your videos available by uploading them to a Channel. To do so, log in to video.uva.nl.

• Click on Channel, followed by +Create Channels.
• Under Private, select Public, Restricted.
• Click on Save.

Yes, this is possible. You can do this if you add ‘360’ as a tag on your video (without the quotes), when you upload the 360-degree video (you can add tags under Details, where you also give your video a name and description).

It might take a while before the video will be visible in HD quality. Six different versions of your video will be rendered, so your video is optimised for all internet connections.

The first file that is visible after uploading, will be of low quality. Depending on the length of the video, it might take a while before the video will be visible in HD quality.

The duration of uploading depends on the file size of the video images. In general, uploading a video takes around 1.5 times the recording time. 
 

This has to do with an old version of Kaltura Capture that is not automatically updated on some devices. To fix this, the old Kaltura Capture Software needs to be removed from the device and the new (Beta) version needs to be downloaded for your Apple or Windows device.

Kaltura Capture can be found at My Media > Add New. Kaltura Capture does not appear when you want to record a video in the Media Gallery of a course. 

Make sure you are logged in. If  Kaltura Capture still does not appear then, it may be due to one of the following reasons:

Kaltura Capture only works on a Windows and Mac computer. If you have a Linux system then it will not work. There is no recording option in Kaltura Capture, however, Kaltura can be further used for, for example, playing or editing videos. 

With a multi-screen shot, you as viewer can determine which of the screens you see big/small or not. At the top righthand corner of your screen, highlighted in red, you can choose whether you want to see (from left to right) only one screen, both screens the same size, or one small and the other large.

Then you can switch screens with the two arrows (top).

Kaltura is a video platform in the Cloud and the UvA uses the European data center in Ireland, thus complying with European and Dutch privacy legislation (GDPR). The Kaltura privacy policy can be found in the footer of the UvA Kaltura platform.

Yes, although it is only possible to store privacy-sensitive material if you need to submit it in a Canvas assignment. If you like to upload privacy-sensitive material, go to the Edit-mode, Details and select YES at the Confidential Media tab. This workaround will make sure that your material will be protected from unwanted publication and will be safe to use.
