About
This guide shows you how to quickly add media to a channel using the Add to Channel button, directly on the channel page. You can add one item or several at once, making it easier to manage your content.
This option is only available to channel owners, managers, and contributors.
Access your channel
- From the user menu, select My Channels.
- Click the thumbnail or Go to channel button for the channel you want to update.
The channel page opens.
Add existing media
- On the channel page, click Add to Channel (top right). This button only appears if you have permission to add media to the channel.
- Use the tabs at the top to switch between:
- My Media
- Shared Repository (if available in your environment)
- Search or filter to find the media you want to add.
- Select media by checking the box next to each item. To select all items on the page, use the checkbox at the top of the table.
The Select media window opens.
- If a checkbox is greyed out and already checked, it means the media is already in the channel. You'll also see an alert message confirming this.
- If a checkbox is greyed out and not checked, it means the media is missing required fields and can't be published yet. You'll see a message prompting you to fill in the required information before publishing.
Alert messages for media already added and missing required fieldsIf you’re adding media to channel that is a Shared Repository, you will see a checkbox labeled “I accept the terms of use.” This must be selected before you can proceed.
5. Click Select at the bottom right (this button becomes active once at least one media item is selected).
A confirmation message appears at the top of the screen.
Once added, your media appears in the channel. If moderation is enabled, it may take time before the media is visible to others.
Upload new media
You can upload new media directly to the Select media page. Just click Upload at the far right, then follow the prompts.
Need help? If you don’t see the Add to Channel button or can’t find your media, contact your Kaltura administrator. You may not have the required permissions, or the content may not be eligible for publishing yet.
