Styling module


About

The Styling module lets you create new styles based on common use cases. With this module, admins can preview the generated style, share it with other admins for review, and then apply it in production.

This guide covers the non-Theming styling options. For information about Kaltura's Theming feature set, see Video Portal Theming tour.

For advanced theme creation, for which a deep CSS understanding is required, please use Kaltura’s Cssupload module.
