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 several ways to unpublish media. In the same way that you can publish media to a channel in a variety of ways, this article describes 4 ways you can unpublish media from a channel, some of which can be better to use depending on your situation:
  
  • Option 1: Unpublish from the Main List in "My Media." Good if you want to unpublish one piece of media from one or more channels, or if you want to  unpublish multiple piece of media from the same channel at the same time.
  • Option 2: Unpublish from the Player Page. Good if you want to unpublish one piece of media from one or more channels.
  • Option 3: Unpublish from the Edit Page. Good if you want to unpublish one piece of media from one or more channels.

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

Option 1: Unpublish from the Main List in "My Media"

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 want to un-publish, and click the checkbox next to the video in question.

Note that you can check boxes next to multiple pieces of media. If they're not all published to the same channels, though, you may find it difficult to complete the following steps. 

4. At the top of the screen, click Actions and select Publish from the menu that appears.
5. Uncheck the checkbox next to the channel(s) from which you want to remove the video.

Alternatively, 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 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. Go to https://mediaspace.ucsd.edu.
