Kaltura My Media – Uploads

Kaltura entries can be created by uploading video, audio or image files. You can upload these files into Kaltura as either a single entry or in bulk. Follow the steps below to get started.

If you are not already in My Media, select myTools and then Kaltura My Media inside your Learning Hub course.

Click the + Create button and select Upload

Click Select Files and choose one or multiple files, or drag and drop files inside the dotted area. Different types of files can be uploaded at the same time.

If multiple files were selected, one file starts the upload process, and the rest of the files are then added to the queue. The queue continues to upload content from bottom to top, skipping any canceled or errored-out media.

The status of the upload is indicated on the right of each item as well as the top left of the Upload Media window:

Upload Statues

• In Queue – Files waiting their turn to upload. You can cancel these before they start uploading.
• Uploading – Displays progress percentage. You can cancel uploads still in progress.
• Processing – The file is being converted. The cancel option is no longer available.
• Ready – The upload is complete, and the thumbnail is displayed. You’ll see a link to the media page.
• Failed – Indicates an upload error. These files cannot be edited or canceled.
• Cancelled – Previously canceled uploads can be removed from the list.

Bulk Actions

At the top of the upload list, you’ll find bulk actions for managing multiple files.

• The gray box displays how many files are in the upload list. Entries with the status ‘Canceled’ or ‘Failed’ are not counted here.
• Cancel All Uploads – Stop all uploads in progress or in the queue. ‘Processing’ or ‘Ready’ files are unaffected.
• Set Privacy to All– Publish or adjust the privacy status of your entries in bulk.
• Edit All – Modify details for multiple media files at once.
