You can add a video in Brightspace in various ways.
Just a video
To add a video to your content without including an introduction text, follow these steps:
Go to Content and click on the place where you want to add the video. Then, click Add Existing.
There are several options for uploading videos in Brightspace. We recommend using Kaltura for this, due to retention periods and privacy-sensitive content. This way, the management of videos remains centrally organized. Therefore, the "Embed Kaltura Media" option will be the only one discussed.
Embed Kaltura Media: With this option, you can add a video from Kaltura to Brightspace. You can insert an existing video from Kaltura via 'Embed' or upload a new video from your computer via '+ Add New'. There is no maximum file size. Before you can place a new or existing video, the metadata (required fields, see image below. ) must be filled out; otherwise, you will not be able to upload the video in either cas
The video will be placed directly into the content. The file name will be used by default, but if you want to change it, you can click on the three dots and select Edit. From there, you can change the title.
Video with introduction text
If you want to add an introductory text to your video, instead of selecting Add Existing, choose Create New. Then, select Page.
Enter the title and the text you want to add. Then, click Insert Stuff.
Choose Embed Kaltura Media. The video will then be embedded.
Click Save and Close when you're finished.
When you want to add videos to, for example, the description of an Assignment or in a Discussion, you also choose the Insert Stuff option, just as explained for in Video with introduction text .
If you want to add multiple videos, you can create a playlist in Kaltura and add it using the Embed Kaltura Media function. You can find information on how to create a playlist in Kaltura here.
