Overview
If - and only if - the person who embedded a Kaltura video has enabled it to be downloaded, can you download it. Kaltura entries aren't downloadable by default. It's just a matter of finding the download icon in the player.
These instructions apply to all Canvas users.
Critical Concepts
Definitions
- Embedded video: a video that is inserted into a webpage using an embed code. In Canvas this is done by clicking the "embed Kaltura media" icon in the rich content editor. We often make a distinction between "published" Kaltura videos and "embedded" Kaltura videos; the former are videos that are in a course's Media Gallery and the latter are videos dropped onto Canvas pages (or anywhere else in Canvas where the rich content editor is available).
Things to Keep in Mind
- Embedded videos aren't downloadable by default. The person who embedded it must have taken extra steps to make it downloadable.
Assumptions
- You're already looking at the page that has the embedded video. Because videos can be embedded in a variety of places in Canvas, we'll start the (very short) instructions assuming that you're already looking at the embedded video.
Steps to Take
-
Click the play button to start the video. You have to do this so that the other controls become visible in the player. You can pause it immediately if you wish.
-
Click the download icon at the top right of the player window. It looks like a downward arrow on top of a line.
-
You may be presented with several options of things to download, such as the video's captions, attachments, or additional video streams (if the entry is a dual-stream video). Click one of the video files at whatever quality level you prefer. (You may have to click Select quality to see other formats.)
