About
Looking to add YouTube videos to your Kaltura video portal? We'll show you how to seamlessly integrate public domain videos, enriching your content library while staying copyright-compliant.
Adding content from YouTube requires the YouTube module to be enabled.
Add media from YouTube
- Select YouTube from the +Add New drop-down menu or +Create menu if you have Theming enabled (as shown in the image below).
The YouTube page displays.
-
Copy the YouTube link (only public domain videos are supported).
-
Paste the link into the Video Page Link field.
- Click Preview to edit the YouTube entry.
- Edit the name, description, and other metadata as desired.
- Choose a publishing status, if required.
- Click Save.
You can access the Edit Media page to edit and manage your entry just like any media entry.
Replace a YouTube link
- Click the three-dot menu to the lower right of the video.
- Select Edit.
- Click the Replace Video tab.
- Enter the replacement video page link or Content ID.
- Click Replace.
The edit media page displays.
A Confirmation message displays. Click Yes to continue.
If you'd like to edit the metadata, click the Details tab, make the desired changes, then click Save.
If a YouTube video won’t play in the Video Portal, it may be because the video was deleted or unpublished on YouTube.
Analytics
Videos from YouTube, when linked to Kaltura via the YouTube module, include analytics pages like other entries. These analytics cover engagement within Kaltura Video Portal and LMS Video apps, and aren't combined with YouTube's playback analytics.
