Publish Kaltura Media to a MediaSpace Channel


Overview

Just like with publishing media to courses in Canvas (where they end up in the Media Gallery), you can publish media to channels in MediaSpace. These instructions apply to all Kaltura users at UCSD (instructors, students, staff, etc.), since everyone is able to create channels and publish their media to them.
