Kaltura Video App for Canvas Deployment Guide LTI 1.1

This guide describes how to add the Kaltura Video App for Canvas with LTI version 1.1 to your Instructure Canvas environment. This guide is intended for Canvas and Kaltura administrators.

Installation Overview and Requirements

The Kaltura Video App for Canvas is implemented as a set of LTI external tools. Each is added manually by a Canvas administrator. Please refer to the Canvas Admin Guide on how to manually configure an external tool on your Canvas environment.

Prerequisites

• A Kaltura account:
  • Partner id (PID) and Admin Secret for your Kaltura account. Alternatively, you can find this information in the Kaltura Management Console (KMC) under Settings > Integration Settings.
  • A Kaltura Application Framework instance URL, for example: 12345678.kaf.kaltura.com. If you do not have a KAF instance, please contact your Customer Success Manager to obtain one. 
  • The Kaltura inherit key must be turned on, or you may create and activate a scoped key. You are required to have one of either keys before beginning to deploy the Kaltura Video App for Canvas.
    To activate the Kaltura inherit key, navigate to the Canvas Admin and select Developer Keys and then select the Inherited tab. Set the State to On.
    To create and activate a scoped key, please see the deployment instructions section How to Deploy a Scoped Key.
