- After selecting the Share tab, you have the following options:
- Link to Media Page: If you would like to share a link to a video you can copy the link and also set the start and end times for the video. People you send the link to either need to have co-viewer, co-editor, or co-publisher access to the video as described in Kaltura - Media Collaboration: Changing media ownership, adding co-editors, co-publishers, and co-viewers . Alternately you can set the video to Unlisted under the publishing settings to let anyone view the link. Be careful to not set any videos which include copyrighted content to Unlisted. You can also be set a video to Published to either a public channel that everyone can view or an open channel which requires users to login with their NetID if you want to share the link to the video more widely but restrict it to UW-Madison users.
