Streaming Media

KU Information Technology provides access to a tool called Kaltura, which delivers live or recorded streaming audio and video that can be embedded in a web site and/or accessed on-demand through Blackboard. Kaltura integrates with Blackboard to make it easier to compose and deliver video content to students.

Please note that this service is only a delivery mechanism, not a permanent storage location. Be sure to store your original uncompressed audio or video elsewhere.
