Embedding Kaltura Media through the Rich-Text Editor

The KAF rich text editor integration may be used to embed media where the rich-text editor is available, such as in announcements, assignments, discussions, forums, etc.

• Click on a menu item in which the rich-text editor is available. For the purposes of this article, we show a Sakai user clicking on the Announcements menu item.
  
  The page associated with that menu item displays. For the purposes of this article, we show the Announcements page.
  
• Click the Add tab. The rich-text editor displays.
  
• Click the Embed Kaltura Media button.  The Embed Kaltura Media window displays.
  
  A user can browse and search media to embed from My Media or from any other source configured (Media Gallery, Shared Repository, and Media Gallery Playlists, for example), then embed it into a content type of the hosting application.
  Note: In order to embed Media Gallery Playlists,
  • Your Administrator must enable the channelplaylists module
  • Your Administrator can (optionally) set a dedicated playlist player, and
  • The Course Owner must create a Media Gallery Playlist. 

You can add new media or select from existing media.
