Kaltura – How to Download Your Kaltura Media File

Kaltura serves as a video repository as well as providing video hosting. Your uploaded video files can be accessed using these steps. One thing to keep in mind is that if you activate this option for a video, it will be available everywhere the video has been embedded. However, it is a great way to back up your recorded content, or to move it from one instance of Kaltura to another.

Kaltura videos can be accessed through “My Media” within Canvas, or through the Rutgers MediaSpace.

The process described below is only for video entries with one stream (web camera or screen/desktop) and cannot be used for entries with dual streams (web camera AND screen/desktop).

Log into Rutgers Canvas or Rutgers Mediaspace.
Access My Media by one of these methods:
1. Mediaspace –

In Rutgers Mediaspace, click on your account name (1), then click My Media (2) in the user menu. You may also access My Media in the top navigation menu (3).

1. Canvas –

In Canvas, click on Account (1), then click on My Kaltura Media (2). You may also access My Kaltura Media (3) in your Canvas global navigation.
