Overview of the InPlayer Integration with Kaltura Video Portal

Kaltura Video Portal

Kaltura Video Portal aka MediaSpace is a fully customizable media destination site for your organization. MediaSpace is an out-of-the-box video-centric site that can serve as a repository for media collections across the organization or a full-featured "Corporate YouTube.” MediaSpace enables community, collaboration and social activities by leveraging the power of online video. MediaSpace enables true collaboration with many contributors, moderators and viewers in a multitude of channels, projects and communities. Depending on your setup, the site can be either public or restricted to authorized end users. In addition, sections of the site may be restricted to members only. You can check more details on the official  Kaltura MediaSpace Video Portal site.

InPlayer Integration

InPlayer's monetization platform features a fully developed integration with Kaltura MediaSpace and you may run this integration on a Demo or Live environment. 

It is advantageous for administrators to have their own Demo account to experience the solution and options using a "test" credit card, instead of live currency. The following "test" credit card is provided for use in the Demo environment.

Note that you can only connect one Kaltura account with an InPlayer account and the InPlayer MediaSpace App URL is different depending on which environment you are currently running (Demo or Live). The URL differences are documented herein.

The user experience is the same for Demo and Live environments; the difference is in the back end - once a client is signed, a completely new Live account is created for them.
