Upload a Youtube Video to MediaSpace

Kaltura offers a feature to use YouTube videos in your MediaSpace account and share/embed them as you would any other Kaltura video. While this feature does not download the video to your account (it requires that the original YouTube video still exist) it “wraps” the video in the Carleton player. There are several advantages to adding your YouTube videos to Kaltura:  ​

  • It removes advertisements
  • It allows you to organize/bookmark YouTube videos along with your Kaltura videos
  • It allows you to add customized captioning files
  • It also allows you to access the playback analytics for these videos

To upload a youtube video in Kaltura:

  1. Login to MediaSpace with your MyCarletonOne credentials.
  2. Click +Add New.
  3. In the +Add New drop-down menu, select Youtube.
  4. Under Video Page Link (or Content ID), copy and paste the YouTube URL into the address area.
  5. Click Preview.
  6. When your link has uploaded, fill in the following information:
    • A name for your media
    • A description
    • Add tags
    • Customize your Publishing settings.
      NOTE: Sharing options are private (only the owner of the media can access and view it) and unlisted (media is accessible to anyone who has the direct link to it).
  7. Click Save.

Please Note; If you add a YouTube link to your My Media account, the Carleton Kaltura player will wrap itself  around the video, but the video is still on a YouTube server.

To edit this type of video you would need to be the YouTube owner and you would need to edit it in the YouTube tools provided by YouTube.

If you are not the YouTube owner be aware that if the owner deletes the video from YouTube then you will not have access to it anymore  in your Kaltura account as the video is being served by YouTube.
