About
This article explains how to configure publishing for scheduled recordings.
Set up roles and permissions for users
- In the Content Hubs Management Console, select the
Recschedulingmodule, and select Yes to enable it. - In the
allowedUserssection, select the specific users who can schedule events.
- In the
manageResourcesfield, click Upload a resource definition file (.csv). The list should contain all available resources for recording, the device name, and the device location. - In the
exportResourcesfield, click Download the Resources list.
Configure publishing categories
After an event is scheduled, a user can also configure publishing settings for the resulting recording. For example, a user schedules a recurring event to capture Biology 101 every Wednesday from 1 pm–3 pm, and wants the resulting recording published to that course's gallery in LMS Extensions. To do this, the user scheduling the event must define the categories for the recording when they create the event.
Scheduling admins can choose whether to use LMS Extensions or Content Hubs to manage the recording schedule.
When you use LMS Extensions, the available categories for publishing the recording depend on the user's entitlement to view those courses. This setting comes from the LTI integration with the LMS.
Categories in the LMS are created only after content is uploaded. If an LMS Extensions category doesn't appear when publishing from Content Hubs, contact Kaltura Customer Care to make sure all LMS Extensions categories are available for publishing scheduled recordings through Content Hubs.
When you use Content Hubs, the available categories for publishing are only the categories or channels that have Contributor-level entitlements or higher. A scheduling admin who uses Content Hubs to manage the recording schedule can still publish to a course that appears in the LMS, under the LMS Extensions root category. For example, a scheduling admin can enable a Blackboard root category (the LMS Extensions building block for Blackboard). As a result, when creating an event, the admin can choose any course under the Blackboard root category as a publishing destination, in addition to any Content Hubs channel or category.
Contact your account manager to synchronize the categories for your account.
Add root categories for publishing (Content Hubs only)
- In the Content Hubs Management Console, select the
Recschedulingmodule, and enable it. - In the
additionalRootCategoriesfield, select the root categories you want to publish your recorded events to.
- Click Save.
