Overview
Kaltura media owners and co-editor can delete captions from an entry if they wish. If your entry has more than one set of captions, however, you can choose to delete captions from your entry.
These instructions apply to all UCSD Kaltura users with active directory credentials (instructors, students, staff, etc.).
You can delete captions in Canvas as well as MediaSpace.
Critical Concepts
- Don't delete the machine captions just because they have some inaccuracies. If you only have one set of captions, we recommend against deleting them. Even at 70% accuracy (roughly), they're better than nothing, particularly for students with auditory impairments.
Steps to Take
Captions can be deleted from a Kaltura entry in both Canvas and MediaSpace. For steps 1-3, follow the steps based on where you're performing the action.
