Overview

Within MediaSpace, you can elect to publish a piece of media to a channel, and you can do that from several locations. Similarly, you can remove media from a channel (or "unpublish" it) in several ways. 

These instructions are only applicable to MediaSpace, and apply to all Kaltura users (instructors, students, and staff with active directory credentials).

Critical Concepts

Things to Keep in Mind

• There are two main ways to unpublish media. In the same way that you can publish media to a channel in a variety of ways, this article describes both ways you can unpublish media from a channel.
• Unpublishing media from a channel doesn't delete it. Rest assured that your media will still be in "My Media" if you remove it from a channel. 

Known Issues

• If you have publish access to a lot of channels, all of them may not show up as options when you try to unpublish. Kaltura has acknowledged a limitation of their service: if you're a member of a lot of channels, Kaltura can't list all of them on the page if you follow most of these methods. If you aren't able to unpublish your media from a channel because of this, reach out to us at kaltura@ucsd.edu for assistance. 

Steps to Take

As mentioned above, there are two main ways to unpublish media from channels in MediaSpace: 

1. Unpublish from the Player Page
2. Unpublish from the Edit Page

Option 1: Unpublish from the Player Page

You can also un-publish a video from the page where you can watch the video, also known as the "player page." You'd get here if you found the video in your list in "My Media" and then clicked on it, or by clicking on it in a channel.

1. If you're not already logged into MediaSpace:
   1. Go to https://mediaspace.ucsd.edu.
   2. Click the profile icon at the top right of the page and select Login.
   3. Enter your active directory credentials.
2. Click the profile icon again and select My Media.
3. Click on the title or thumbnail of the video you want to publish.
4. On the video's details page, click Actions on the right side of the screen, then select Publish.
5. After your list of courses populates below the radio buttons, uncheck the checkbox(es) next to the appropriate channel(s).

If you want to remove the video from ALL channels to which it's published, click the Private radio button instead. 

5. Click Save.

Option 2: Unpublish from the Edit Page

In addition to being able to perform a variety of edits on your video on the "edit page," you can also control the video's publication status. 

1. If you're not already logged into MediaSpace:
   1. Go to https://mediaspace.ucsd.edu.
   2. Click the profile icon at the top right of the page and select Login.
   3. Enter your active directory credentials.
2. Click the profile icon again and select My Media.
3. Find the video you'd like to publish, click the kebab (three dots) on its row, and select Edit. 
4. Under the video preview, click the Publish tab.
5. After your list of channels populates below the radio buttons, uncheck the box(es) next to the appropriate channel(s).

If you want to remove the video from ALL channels to which it's published, click the Private radio button instead. 

6. Click Save.
