Prerequisites

You must be an owner or a co-editor. Admittedly, there are ways that others can figure out the entry ID, but this documentation is written for people who are allowed to edit a Kaltura media entry.

Steps to Take

You can find the entry ID for an entry in either Canvas or MediaSpace. Follow the first few steps, follow the instructions based on where you intend to perform the action.
