What's new?

A new way to Browse, search, and embed

We’re happy to introduce a new and revamped Browse, Search & Embed (BSE) experience as part of our phased rollout of the new LMS Video. This updated version offers a modern design and a more consistent user experience, and makes it easier and faster for admins and students to embed media in their LMS. 

Key improvements:

• A fresh new design: a cleaner, more modern look that feels simpler and more consistent across the platform.
• Customizable columns: Admins can now choose which fields appear in the BSE table (e.g., ID, Type, Tags, Plays, Views, Created At, and Updated At), offering greater flexibility.
• Preview before you embed: See what a video or audio file looks like before adding it to your LMS content.
• Podcast support: You can now embed audio files—including podcasts—directly from the BSE tool using Kaltura’s updated audio player (v7). It’s a great way to bring in more flexible, on-the-go learning options.

How to start using it:

You can enable the new BSE modal via the Theming module in your KAF Configuration Management console. Read more about the new BSE here.

This is an early release, giving you a first look at the new BSE experience. More enhancements and capabilities are on the way - stay tuned!

Expect the following updates soon:

• Embed from multiple courses: Easily embed media from multiple courses.
• Start time embed configuration: Users will be able to set custom playback start time within the embed flow.
• Quick creation tools: Add media quickly from YouTube, upload, and Express Capture flows within the BSE tool.

• Edit invite title & location – Admins can now update the title and location in calendar invites sent after registration to provide accurate details.

What's new?

• Seamless compatibility with Moodle 4.5

The updated Kaltura Moodle plugin now fully supports Moodle v4.5 (LTS), ensuring a smooth transition for institutions upgrading their LMS version. This update also maintains compatibility with Moodle 4.3 and 4.4.

New enhancements are available as part of this update:

More automated student activity tracking (ILMS-705)

• Instructors can now set a rule requiring students to submit an assignment before an activity is marked complete. Adding “Make a submission” as a requirement in Moodle’s activity settings improves tracking accuracy and reduces manual effort. This eliminates the need for instructors to manually check submissions before marking activities as complete.

  

Set reminders for video-based tasks

Students and instructors can now schedule reminders in Timeline for Kaltura Video Assignments and Video Resources, helping them stay on top of deadlines, improving time management, and reducing missed submissions.

Quick access to My Media (ILMS-707)

Admins can now add My Media to the user menu, giving students and instructors a direct shortcut to their personal video libraries. This update simplifies navigation, making it faster and more convenient to find and manage media.

For more information on how to set this up, read here.

• Easier video labeling with search in Theming

Adding custom tags and labels to videos helps improve discoverability, making content easier to find and use across relevant contexts. As metadata lists grow, selecting the right labels can become time-consuming. To streamline this process, we added a searchable dropdown for listType - Multi, allowing faster and more efficient metadata selection, especially for organizations managing large video collections:

• Interactive video embedding is supported in Player v7

Instructors and content creators can now embed interactive videos (AKA RAPT or Interactive Video Paths) in their Video Portal and LMS Video using Kaltura Player v7. This update enables seamless integration of decision-based learning experiences, making interactive content more accessible and engaging.

Video Portal (KMS)

The new Kaltura Room experience

The new Kaltura Room is now available in the Video Portal, with major enhancements over the legacy room (Newrow): A beautiful, modern interface for a more engaging user experience, advanced branding options; rich, powerful chat & collaboration tools, with quick polls, quizzes, survey questions, and a private backchannel chat for moderators; interlude templates (customizable transition videos with music and live countdown), and a private green room for speakers and admins to collaborate during breaks.

The Kaltura Room is unique in that it is a persistent room built for learning, offering special features like Storyboard (allowing instructors to prepare the session in advance, by uploading materials into the room and organizing them sequentially), whiteboards, Miro boards, breakout rooms, and more.

Adding the room to your video portal will allow you to train, upskill, and collaborate in real-time directly within your video platform, having recordings automatically ingested and curated, and creating a seamless, more secure user experience, eliminating the waste and risk of platform switching.

The new room has two modes: interactive (up to 25 on stage/100 total participants) and webinar (10 on stage/300 total participants).

  Previously, this flow could break due to third-party cookies being blocked or incorrect referrer settings. With this update, authentication will now occur in a pop-up.
