On 05/10/22, the Kaltura video players on the University of Wisconsin System (except for UW Madison) instance of Kaltura were updated to better handle dual screen (or multisource) videos.

This change retroactively applies to all Kaltura links and embeds on the University of Wisconsin System (except for UW Madison) instance. Users do not need to re-link or re-embed their videos to apply this update.

Prior to this update, videos with to separate video sources (such as a webcam and a screenshare) displayed correctly in Canvas and Mediaspace, but only displayed a single video source in links generated by the player's "Share" button or the Kaltura Management Console (KMC). This has been fixed by turning on the "Dual Screen" setting in each video player in the KMC.
