About
Scheduling media in Kaltura's Video Portal allows you to control when your content becomes viewable to your audience.
In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to set up specific start and end times for your media, ensuring it appears exactly when you want it to.
Your administrator must enable the Scheduling module for this feature to work.
Access the Schedule settings
- From the user menu, select My Media.
- Click the three dots to the right of the desired media and select Edit.
- Click the Schedule tab.
The 'My Media' page displays.
Alternatively, you can access the edit page from the media page by clicking the three-dot menu and selecting Edit.
The edit media page opens on the Details tab by default, with a left-hand navigation.
Set a schedule
- Select Specific Time Frame to set the time range in which this media will be visible to users in published channels / galleries.
- Complete the Start time and End time fields (date and hour).
- Choose a time zone by clicking on the drop-down menu and choosing an option. You can also type in the search field to search for an option.
- Click Save.
The media will be visible to you or other users between the scheduled start and end times. Only the media owner can see the entry in My Media.
Find scheduled items
You can filter entries from different scheduling availabilities on the My Media page, as shown in the example below.
