Adding a Video to Your Moodle Course
Kaltura is a media platform used for creating, storing, editing, and sharing multimedia content directly in Moodle.
Starting Off:

- Media Upload: allows you to upload an existing media file
- Express Capture: allows you to quickly record audio and video from your webcam
- Kaltura Capture: allows you to record audio, video, and your screen at the same time
Setting Video Details:
- Once your video is uploaded, you can change the title, add a description, and more.
- Click Save to save your changes
Sharing the Video in Your Course:
Your video can be shared either as a standalone resource or embedded within any content that uses Moodle's editor (e.g. Text & Media Area, Page, Book).
To share your video as a standalone resource:
- Toggle on edit mode in the top-right corner
- Click Add an activity or resource and choose Kaltura Video Resource.
- Add a name and a description for your video resource.
- Click the Add Media Button.
To embed your video:
-
While editing a relevant activity or resource (e.g. Text & Media Area, Page, Book, etc.), click the "Embed Kaltura Media" Button

A pop-up window will appear. Find your video from the list and click the "Embed" button, which looks like this: </>
The media will now be embedded in the resource. Be sure to save your changes.
