Adding a collaborator to an existing Kaltura video in Canvas allows multiple users to edit, publish, or view the video content, making collaborative projects or shared resources easier to manage. This guide explains how to add collaborators to Kaltura videos directly through Canvas, ensuring that the right people have access to modify or view your media as needed.

Prerequisites

  • A Kaltura video already uploaded to My Media.
  • The name or Chico State ID of the person you wish to add as a collaborator.

Step-by-Step Instructions

To add a collaborator to your video in Kaltura, do the following:

  1. Navigate to your My Media either through Canvas or media.csuchico.edu/my-media to view your uploaded videos.

  2. Next to the video you want to add a collaborator to, select the Edit icon (pencil).
    My Media page with the edit icon highlighted

  3. Scroll down to the Media Collaborators section and select Add Collaborator.
    Edit Media page on the Collaboration tab. The Add Collaborator button is highlighted

  4. In the provided field, type the name or Chico State ID of the person you wish to add as a collaborator [1].

  5. Ensure the appropriate checkboxes for Co-Editor, Co-Publisher, and/or Co-Viewer are selected [2].
