Kaltura
Kaltura is a media platform that allows instructors and students to record, upload, and share video content directly in Canvas courses.

Key Features
- Upload media: upload and store audio and video files to My Media in Canvas

- Share and embed in Canvas: share media through the Media Gallery in Canvas and embed media in places with a Rich Content Editor
- Create video quizzes: create interactive video quizzes (multiple choice, true/false, reflection point) to increase student engagement
- Captions and transcripts: add closed captions and transcripts to videos to increase accessibility of media to students

- Note: Instructors cannot view published recordings in the Media Gallery using the “Student View” in Canvas.
