Adding Kaltura as video provider
You can allow your users to embed videos hosted by Kaltura in their content by specifying the Player ID and Partner ID associated with your Kaltura repository in a custom macro.
If you use Kaltura to host videos and want to make them available for users to post in your community, you need to specify the settings for your site using a macro which you can then enable and disable.
In Jive Hosted and On Premise environments, you can enable and disable certain video providers and add new providers if they are supported. By default, users can embed video content hosted by YouTube, Vimeo, Veoh, and Dailymotion.
To enable and configure Kaltura video provider:
-
Upload your videos using the Kaltura Media Console and make sure they're available for viewing.
-
Under Embedding Kaltura Media Players in Your Site, find the instructions for "Using Static HTML-based Embed Codes." For more information, see Embedding Kaltura Media Players in Your Site in the Kaltura Knowledge Center.
-
Following the instructions, get the
{PLAYER_ID}and{PARTNER_ID}that identify your site. -
In the Admin Console, go to Spaces > Settings > Filters and Macros.
-
Next to the Kaltura Video Provider Macro click Settings.
-
On the Render Filter Settings, use the values you obtained from Kaltura to populate the playerKey and playerID boxes.
Make sure you select the space where you want to enable this provider. If you want to apply the setting community-wide, select the root space.
-
If required, in playerColor, change the player color.
-
Click Save Properties.
-
On the Filters and Macros page, select On for the Kaltura Video Provider Macro.
With the provider enabled, when your users embed videos from the web in content, they see Kaltura as a video provider option below the embed code field, and can paste the video embed code from Kaltura into the field to successfully post and play videos.
Note that when you disable a provider macro that has been enabled previously, videos already embedded from that provider show as disabled.
