How can a Lecture Capture live event be owned by a “group owner”?
A Lecture Capture event may be owned by a group owner due to entitlement settings. This behavior is due to a backend constraint that does not carry out entitlements over 'scheduleEvent' objects. To ensure that users that have access to the calendar, have permissions to view/edit the entry that is connected to the event object, Kaltura places all the users that are allowed to access to the calendar in a group and sets the group as the owner of the entries. This ensures that if you can access the calendar, you can access and manage the scheduled events in the calendar.
What entry is used for recurring classes when a Lecture Capture is broadcast live?
Recurring events use the same live entry. Each event has a separate entry for the VoD recording.
What happens to the live entry after broadcasting has stopped?
When a recorded live lecture ends, the platform automatically redirects viewers to the recording entry ID. This is useful because there is no need to publish a different URL for the recording.
Where can i find my Lecture Capture live entry?
You can find your Lecture Capture live entries in your My Media repository and either share the content to relevant courses or channels and embed the content directly into your LMS/CMS/website.
Why can't the Lecture Capture organizer of a live event delete a specific entry in my media?
Lecture Capture live events are tied to the My Calendar page. All events listed on the calendar are available for all users that have access to the calendar (aka the "Group Owner") to view/edit the events but not to delete them. This was designed to prevent users from accidentally deleting a recurring event.
To delete a Lecture Capture live event, you may change the media owner to your user name. For additional information see Change Media Owner and Add Collaborator.
Lecture Capture - live broadcasting
After the lecture
Lecture Capture will record all streams and content in the background locally. The resulting recording will be uploaded once the lecture is done and will include all created content. The recorded lecture is uploaded as a separate entry from the live entry.
When a live session ends, viewers will be redirected automatically to the latest recording, once it is available.
Recurring lecture events
Recurring events will use the same live entry, and each session will have a new, separate entry for the resulting recording.
When a recurring live session ends, the platform automatically redirects viewers to the last recorded entry.
More information about scheduling recurring events can be found here.
