About
Legacy Video Portal and LMS Video (legacy) applications in the same Kaltura account can work together (also known as 'interoperability').
When user IDs match across the applications, users can see media they own or collaborate on in each one. They can also see where their media is published across applications.
My Media across applications
My Media shows media a user owns or has been added to as a collaborator. The same media appears in My Media across applications when they use the same user ID.
- In legacy Video Portal, the user ID is determined by the authentication method configured in the Auth module.
- In LMS Video (legacy), the user ID is configured in the Hosted module during setup.
Administrators must make sure user IDs match across the applications.
See where media is published
Users can see where their media is published, including in other applications under the same Kaltura Partner ID.
Configure this behavior in the Categories module.
Configure the setting separately in each application where users need to see this information.
Schedule recordings for other applications
Administrators can schedule recordings, such as Lecture Capture recordings, for automatic publication to course galleries or channels in other applications.
To make the destination categories available when scheduling, configure the root categories as described in the RecScheduling module.
LMS embed behavior
When media is embedded in an LMS page using the Kaltura embed tool, the embedded player remains on the page unless someone removes it.
Media is added to the course’s in-context category when:
- The owner embeds it using the Kaltura embed tool.
- A user watches it.
To prevent previously unpublished media from being added back to the category when played, set autoRepublish to No.
When autoRepublish is set to Yes, even private media can be added back to the category when an authorized user plays it.
