About
In Kaltura, publishing controls who can see your media and where it appears. To share media with others, you need to publish it. To remove it from shared locations, you need to unpublish it.
When you unpublish media, it’s removed from all channels and galleries where it was visible. The media stays in My Media, but only you can see it unless you publish it again later.
You need the appropriate permissions to publish/unpublish in channels or galleries. If options are missing, contact your administrator.
