Embed a video using Kaltura

You can also embed a YouTube video on your Lyceum page via the Kaltura Video Resource activity. Importing a YouTube video to Kaltura first will strip any ads from it, so any course participants without a Premium subscription can view the video ad-free.

Turn on editing in the course, and click Add an activity or resource in the appropriate section. Choose Kaltura Video Resource as the activity type.

Expand the Video menu and click Add Media.

If you have already uploaded the video to Kaltura, you will see it in My Media and can click Embed. Otherwise, click the Add New button and choose YouTube.

Paste in the YouTube URL to import your video. When it has finished importing, it will appear in My Media and can be embedded. The video will then also be available in your course Media Gallery.
