About
Instructors can enable Genie in their course media galleries to let students ask questions and discover content based on the videos and documents in that course.
If Agentic Avatars are enabled for your Genie configuration, students can also start a live avatar conversation within the media gallery’s Genie experience.
To enable the avatar experience, contact your Kaltura representative.
Enable Genie on a media gallery
- Access your course, then click on Media Gallery. The Media Gallery displays.
- Click the edit icon (three bars) at the top right and select Edit.
- On the edit page, click the Genie tab.
- Check the Enable box then click Submit (it may already be enabled by default, depending on your admin’s setup).


The edit page displays.

If Display embedded media in this media gallery is selected, Genie also pulls information from the embedded videos that appear in the Media Gallery, so its answers reflect all content available to students.

The Genie tab appears only if your admin has made Genie available.


The 'Ask Anything' tab displays on the media gallery page.
