Ownership of videos
Transfer ownership: change ownership of one or more videos
All videos have a single owner in Kaltura, and the owner is the only person who can modify, delete, enable sharing, etc. Some situations may require a transfer of the ownership of a video (i.e. for course rollover to a new faculty member at the end of a term, or change of faculty mid-term or in the case of a Faculty leaving the institution). Submit a request to the Learning Technology Hub and request a transfer of ownership. Include in your request the following information:
- Total number and the exact title(s) of the video(s);
- The CWL, email address, and first/last name of the current owner of the videos.
- The CWL, email address, and first/last name of the user to whom the ownership is being changed.
Multiple ownership workaround 1: Allow others to download your video
A video uploaded to Kaltura in Connect is owned by a single user. However, you can allow other users to download your video(s). Refer to “Allow other users to Share and/or download a video”.
Multiple ownership workaround 2: Allow others to create a full-length clip of your video
A video uploaded to Kaltura in Connect is owned by a single user. However, you can allow other users to view and make a full-length clip of your video. The following steps will show you how to allow other users to make a full-length clip of your video and add it to their personal video library (their My Media):
- Go to “My Media”
- Select the video and check the box “Allow others to make clips of this video”
- Click “contribute to Faculty Repository”, assign the relevant categories and clicks OK
Then the user that you are allowing to clip your video will do the following:
- Go to “Faculty Repository”
- Select the video and click “Add to a Course Gallery”
- Select the desired course from the drop-down menu and click ok
- Enter the course gallery to which the video has been added
- Select the video, click “Create Clip”, changes the title/description if desired and click Save.
The video will be saved in the user’s My Media.
