Kaltura – My Media Overview
Kaltura My Media is your own personal video repository. Any videos uploaded here are only visible by you. Once a video has been uploaded here, it can be published into the Media Gallery of any course that you have access to. Here you can check the status of each video through the ‘private’ or ‘published’ tags and identify small details like keywords and publish dates. Essentially you can think of My Media as a staging area for all of your owned videos.
