Adding a Video to a Webpage

Cascade 3.0 | Cascade 4.0

There are several media repositories that store videos and provide shareable links. This article specifically reviews the process of adding a video via CSU Chico Media/ Kaltura, the university’s media repository.

Requirements

The video must be captioned before publishing to the web.

Submit a Captioning Support Service ticket to edit and correct your captions. The video will be captioned by the TEIN department.

Gathering your Video Embed Code

1. Upload your video to Kaltura and submit a captioning ticket. It is recommended not to continue this process until your video is captioned.
2. Access your Kaltura account and open the captioned video.
3. Open the Share tab underneath the transcript. Select the embed option and copy the code.
   Can't find the embed option? Make sure you're logged in to Kaltura.
   
4. Edit your embed code to remove the id tag, frameborder and add the title of the video.
   Recommendation: Copy and edit the embed code into a Notepad file or word editor for easier access.
