Publish media in Brightspace

About

When you upload media, it’s private by default and accessible only through My Media. From there, you can either grab the embed code for private media or choose to publish it, making it public in your Media Gallery.

Publishing media allows it to be publicly accessible to users. You can publish media:

• in any Media Galleries you are allowed to publish to.
• only after file conversion is complete and the media has passed moderation (if required).

The content in My Media is consistent across all Kaltura applications, and can be published and shared based on your permissions. If you can't publish media, contact your administrator for access.

The instructions below are for non-Theming users. If you have Theming enabled, please refer to our article 'Publish media in Canvas - Theming'.

Note for Canvas users: When publishing media, the first 200 active courses appear in the course selector. If your course doesn’t appear, open the course itself, go to its Media Gallery, and publish the media from there.

If you want to publish to a Shared Repository, you must complete all the required fields and save the entry first. See the Edit button in the pop-up above Publishing Status. To learn more about adding content to Shared Repositories, check out our article Shared Repository in video portal.
