Documents in player


About

Kaltura's Documents plugin lets viewers access document entries included with media, such as items in a playlist.

Documents are not displayed directly within the player. Instead, supported documents can be opened in a new browser tab using View document.

The example below shows a document entry with a thumbnail preview (the document itself isn't displayed in the player). 

Click View Document to open it in a new tab.

When a document isn't available for viewing, you can download it using the Download Document feature, provided it's enabled on your player.

Below is a document entry that's not available for viewing, and the Download document feature hasn't been enabled.

Setup

To learn how to set the Documents plugin on the player, see Enable document support on the player.

Features

  • Document entries can be included in playlists and are displayed with a title, icon, and thumbnail preview.
  • Document download feature can be enabled to allow downloading documents when unavailable for viewing. 
  • Thumbnail preview of document displays on the screen in the background.

Documents are not displayed directly within the player. Supported documents open in a new browser tab.
