What’s new
Secure live streaming with RTMPS
We have expanded support for RTMPS (Real-Time Messaging Protocol over TLS/SSL) across the On-Prem environment. This ensures that your live broadcasts are encrypted from the point of ingestion, providing a more secure environment for sensitive or high-profile university events.
See our Knowledge Center article for details on configuring RTMPS.
KMC Automation Manager
Administrators can now leverage the Automation Manager within the Kaltura Management Console (KMC). This tool enables administrators to automate workflows and reduce manual operational tasks.

Player V2 to V7 redirection tool
To help you transition to our latest player technology, we’ve introduced a redirection tool. This allows you to route traffic from older V2 player instances to the modern V7 player, ensuring a consistent viewer experience without needing to manually update every embed code.
