The Kaltura Video Extension for Microsoft Teams allows end-users to make video a major component of their collaboration. The Kaltura Video Extension for Teams allows you to: seamlessly create and share videos as a way to capture and share knowledge, watch company webcasts, build a video gallery that showcases content to create a sense of teamwork and ownership, create playlists, make videos searchable and social, and reuse videos beyond Teams in other applications (CMS, LMS, corporate video portals, etc.). The video content is accessible, trackable, and discoverable.
Kaltura’s Video Extension for Microsoft Teams simplifies adding the robust capabilities of Kaltura's online video platform to any Microsoft Teams site. The package was developed specifically for Teams and integrates with other features and modules so that users can upload and embed media easily.
Hosting and Deployment Options
Kaltura offers the most flexible deployment options in the industry. Kaltura’s Video Extension for Microsoft Teams seamlessly integrates the Kaltura Video Platform on a Microsoft Teams (part of Office 365 suite) cloud implementation.
More specifically, the rich-media content, its metadata as well as the specific publishing settings and usage information that are stored in the Kaltura system, can be hosted by Kaltura (Kaltura SaaS), with no need for a CDN relationship or video streaming solution. In addition, Kaltura’s open architecture allows you to integrate with any third party CDN or eCDN.
