About
This guide explains how to create and configure a root category for your LMS Video integration if it was not already created for you by your Kaltura representative.
A root category is required for all LMS Video integrations (for example, Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard). It serves as the top-level category that Kaltura uses to organize media and to enable features such as Media Galleries and shared repositories.
Create a root category in the KMC
- Log into the KMC.
- On the Content page, click the Categories tab.
- Click Add Category.
- Type a name for the new category and select No parent (this will create a root category).
- Click Apply.
- (optional) Type a Description, Tags, and a Reference ID for the new category.
- Click Save.
- Click the back arrow to return to the Categories page.
The Categories page displays.
The New Category window displays.
The metadata page displays.
Your new category now appears in the list of categories.
After installing the Kaltura Video integration in your LMS, you will need to specify the root category you created. See the Categories module for details.
