This guide outlines how to publish your Kaltura video as "Unlisted" within the media platform. Making a video unlisted ensures it is accessible to anyone with the URL, providing a balance between privacy and shareability. Sharing unlisted videos allows you to distribute your content selectively without making it publicly accessible on the platform. This method is ideal for sharing a direct link to a video on Kaltura.
