Setting up the Webex Integration with Kaltura

Prerequisites

Installing the Webex Video Plugin for the Kaltura Webex Integration

The Webex integration for Kaltura is an account-level application. All the recordings created by Webex users under the configured account will be uploaded to Kaltura.

Only Webex account admin(s) can install the Kaltura Webex plugin application from the Webex Marketplace. 

After the Kaltura Webex plugin for Kaltura is installed and enabled on your account:

• All Webex cloud recordings for the account are uploaded to the configured Kaltura account. 
• Only the Webex admin may edit the application configuration. 
• Recordings that were recorded prior to the installation will not be uploaded to Kaltura.

The transfer to Kaltura begins immediately and seamlessly, although it may take a few minutes for the recording to be available from Webex.
