Kaltura Media Gallery – Moderation

Kaltura’s content moderation feature allows instructors to approve or reject media from students before it becomes accessible to the class inside Media Gallery.

Enabling Moderation

Moderation is enabled in all Kaltura Course Media Galleries by default. If for some reason this is not enabled in your gallery or if you would like to disable moderation please follow these steps:

1. Open the Kaltura Media Gallery inside your course
2. From the Actions menu select Manage Content
3. From the left column select the Content Moderation
4. Toggle the slider labelled Enabled content moderation

Access Media Pending Moderation

Once a student submits an entry they would like published into the Course Media Gallery, the following notification displays underneath the gallery banner: [x] items pending approval. View list.

There are two ways to access content that is pending moderation:

1. The first is to click View List in the notification message.
2. The second is through Manage Content from the Actions

If you have chosen the first option, you will be taken to a page titled Content Moderation.

If you have chosen the second option, you will be taken into the configuration area of the gallery under the Content moderation option.

Moderating Media

Filter pending content (optional)

Use filters to narrow the moderation list and focus on the content you want to review. Filters are especially useful when moderating large volumes of media.

1. Click Filters.
2. Select one or more filter options.

The moderation list updates automatically based on your selection.
