Embed Kaltura media in Brightspace

About

The Browse, search and embed (BSE) tool lets you easily search through My media, Media Gallery, Shared Repository, and playlists, and embed them on your page. It’s simple to use - no training required. You can embed media in rich-text areas like Announcements, Forums, and Assignments, making it easy to add or repurpose media wherever you can publish text.

• Add Media Galleries or Playlists to your course.
• Embed single videos or playlists with ease.
• Automatically integrate video quiz results into your grade book.
• Embed media anywhere you can publish text, such as announcements or forums.
