About
You may publish/unpublish sessions from events to your Content Hub (formerly Video Portal) per channel. This article will walk you through that process.
Prerequisites and notes:
- Your Content Hub(s) must be preconfigured by Kaltura.
- You may publish a session only after the session has ended.
- Content Hub publishing entitlements apply, you need to configure your Content Hub target channels to have permissions for the Kaltura Events user so they will be able to publish.
- It may take up to 10 minutes for a session to appear in a channel on the Content Hub(s) after publishing.
This article pertains only to multi-session events.
Access session publishing capabilities
There are two ways to reach session publishing capabilities - on the Agenda page, click the three dots and select the appropriate action, or on the Edit Session page, click the three dots and select the appropriate action.
Menu items that display depend on the published state of the session. If the session is not published, the menu item is "Publish on Video portal". If the session is published, the menu item is "Change Video portal settings".
Agenda page example:
Edit Session page example:
Regardless of if you chose Publish on Video portal or Change Video portal settings, the Publish on your Kaltura video portal screen displays. This screen lists all the Content Hubs to which you have access.
In our example above, the user has access to multiple Content Hubs.
1. Click on the appropriate Content Hub. The Publish on [Content Hub name] screen displays. This screen lists all the channels to which you have access in this Content Hub.
If you have access to only one Content Hub, you are taken directly to the Publish on [Content Hub name] screen.
If you do not have access to any Content Hubs, you are taken to a screen which allows you to check out Content Hub and explore its main features and functions.
In our example above, the user has access to multiple channels in this Content Hub.
2. To publish the session, click the Publish button next to the appropriate channels. You may search for a channel's name or description on this screen as well.
If no channels exist in this Content Hub, you receive a message instructing you to create a channel in this Content Hub before proceeding.
