About

In the Video Portal, administrators and gallery managers can create sub-galleries under existing parent galleries. Parent galleries must be created in the Kaltura Management Console (KMC).

Once parent galleries exist, you can create and manage sub-galleries directly in the Video Portal.

Sub-galleries help you further organize content, assign permissions, and manage users within a gallery

To learn more about galleries, visit our article Introduction to galleries.

These instructions apply to the legacy Video Portal. If you’re using the new Video Portal with Theming, see the Content Hubs category.
