Kaltura Video Platform

''Awesome platform for learning purpose''

Commenti: I'm using this platform for a long time. It's my favorite tool for all types of learning. This makes my work fast and easy.

Aspetti positivi:

Best and most powerful platform for all educators who want to make online courses for their students. This platform gives freedom to make PowerPoint presentations and webcam with both screens great advantage of this. Very professional and no type of glitch.

Aspetti negativi:

I never notice any problem while using it. I really like it so much and recommended it too. This makes video upload and embeeding fast.

Full-featured and well integrated at my school

Commenti: Kaltura has been very easy to work with as a faculty member and gives students a good viewing experience.

Aspetti positivi:

Kaltura had integrated with the rest of the university's technology in such a way that it is extremely easy for me to use and highly useful for me and my students. Every one of my classes is automatically recorded and stored in Canvas so my students have access to every recording without even knowing that they are using Kaltura. I have experimented with the desktop screen recording solutions for my virtual classes and it works pretty well. It doesn't have all the features of a dedicated screen recording app, but it does record the screen and camera separately and lets the students choose which to watch after the fact, which is pretty cool.

Aspetti negativi:

On the desktop screen recording tool for Mac, I can select a portion of the screen, but I can't have it record just one window, which I would really like to be able to do.

Subpar Software

Commenti: It's been a headache since day one of using this software in school. It does the bare minimum, glitches often, and has an unfriendly UI.

Aspetti positivi:

It does the bare minimum allows you to record, upload, share, and edit.

Aspetti negativi:

The editing options are limited and will not allow you to have access to Dual Screens and other features if not uploaded properly. It has constant glitches and fails to upload constantly. The overall UI is unfriendly when it comes to appearance and learning the software.

A modern video player for making business efficient and engaging!

Commenti: It is easy to use and allows high quality video to be embedded on-the-go. This is an added advantage for companies who want to onboard video services in their business plan.

Aspetti positivi:

1) Clean and simple user interface 2) Automated captioning 3) Integration with third-party players 5) Doesn't crash and has a consistent performance

Aspetti negativi:

1) No downloadable video files 2) Support team should be more agile to answer user queries 3) The published video link that a lot of time to generate

Awesome features for screen captures

Commenti: I like what the software does, it just seems to be slow when posting videos.

Aspetti positivi:

I like all the features that come with the screen capture capabilities. It allows recording from multiple different cameras and can even let you jump through the video when the lecture slide has changed.

Aspetti negativi:

It takes forever to upload once the recording has finished. I'm not sure what kind of processing has to take place here, but I often can't access videos for hours after the recording has finished.

Kaltura is the worst product I have ever used

Commenti: My overall experience with Kaltura has been horrible. I will never use it again.

Aspetti positivi:

I will never use Kaltura again, this is my 6th try using the software and I find it impossible.

Aspetti negativi:

Kaltura needs some sort of software update to improve functionality, it is probably the most clunky software I have ever used. Examples of issues I have had with Kaltura include: recording lectures for a class - as I am recording a lecture the software will just quit. When I try to reopen the software to see if the recording saved it will not re-open. It unexpectedly quits regularly. I also has an issue with editing videos. This software and its integration into Canvas is beyond slow to the point of not functional.

Horrible experience

Aspetti positivi:

I did manage to create a video/presentation, that´s the only positive thing.

Aspetti negativi:

I spent a lot of time trying to find where to download the program. When I did download and install it, it started automatically opening every time I turned on the computer, which I never gave it the authorization to do. The program itself is very non intuitive and annoying. It is buggy, as it sometimes lasted for hours for a 10 minute video to upload. Eventually I gave up and filmed myself presenting with Zoom. Horrible, horrible experience.

Video hosting with Kaltura

Aspetti positivi:

Open source video platform provider. Another solution to host videos like Youtube, Vimeo. Easy interface.

Aspetti negativi:

Katura lacks in providing a good customer support. To play Kaltura videos you need have Flash on your system.

Kaltura Video helped me use my school's LMS more efficiently

Commenti: learning needs have been met, and that's always great!

Aspetti positivi:

I loved being able to upload videos to my school's LMS using Kaltura

Aspetti negativi:

Clunky design in certain areas made it counter intuitive

Kaltura can be Kalulating

Commenti: It was frustrating but took a learning curve to finally figure it out. Upload is slow in my opinion.

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to record a PowerPoint presentation and have another screen with three options for actual presentation.

Aspetti negativi:

The technology adaptability was murder. Could not resolve some issues for the camera yet no way to figure it out.

Managing video recording of classes

Commenti: A solid tool to manage video recordings and provide them to our students.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease with which very long videos were loaded and managed made it seamless to offer an interactive access to video recordings of the classes to my students. We used Kaltura integrated with the Moodle platform.

Aspetti negativi:

Sometimes loading speed was average, with occasional (one in twenty times) needs to restart video uploading.

Kaltura Video Platform

Aspetti positivi:

Kaltura provides a comprehensive suite of tools for video hosting, streaming, and analytics, making it an excellent choice for educational institutions and businesses seeking to enhance their video content delivery.

Aspetti negativi:

Kaltura Video falls short in terms of ease of customization. Customization is often considered a fundamental requirement, yet it can be challenging and less intuitive within the platform. Users may find themselves grappling with intricate settings and configurations, which can be time-consuming and require a steeper learning curve

Kaltura Review

Commenti: Overall, Kaltura is a wonderful product that is essential to our learning environment.

Aspetti positivi:

What I like most about this software is that even though some things may record that you don't want to, you are able to cut out anything that you do not want within the video.

Aspetti negativi:

It can be difficult to reach Customer Support at times.

My most used video platform

Commenti: It’s been good. Have used it in collaboration with other tools and not once did I face problems

Aspetti positivi:

Provides array of video solutions and can be deployed easily. It integrated well with o

Aspetti negativi:

Pricing- as usual the academic quotes for these platforms are a bit high than it should be

Kaltura - Great Experience for the End User - Horrible Experience for a Systems Admin

Commenti: Kaltura is a valuable tool that integrates wonderfully with Canvas LMS. We have it set up for Teachers and Students to upload and publish videos. Kaltura has also launched In-Video Quizzing, so students watch a portion of a video, and then are prompted to answer a quiz question before they're able to continue watching. This interaction is awesome. Kaltura's customer service, however, is horrendous! Out of all of the technologies I manage for Utah Valley University, Kaltura is by far the worst at responding to emails and fulfilling customer requests. For example, I sent an email to their customer support account and cc'd our customer success manager and technical rep over a month ago, using the instructions provided on their site, and have yet to receive any response. Also, the Kaltura Management Console (KMC) is all Flash based. It's 2016. Seriously. Update the KMC.

Aspetti positivi:

Great product for end users, especially the integration with Canvas LMS.

Aspetti negativi:

Customer Support is the absolute worst. And the KMC is Flash based.

Record your meetings with Kaltura Capture space recorder

Commenti: easy to record the meetings for future reference and has inbuilt feature to pause/start and upload the recording to the enterprise servers

Aspetti positivi:

Very easy desktop application. 1 click recording of meetings with audio and video and screen recording. Clarity is best and can be directly uploaded to the server from the application itself

Aspetti negativi:

Desktop application is little bit heavy so you need a good configuration machine in order to use it or else you want be able to use your machine properly as it will slow down the machine

Overall good platform

Aspetti positivi:

The videos were useful and easy to navigate. You could watch in 2x speed or slow it down which was nice and you could put videos into albums or chapters based on topics and watch everything on that topic.

Aspetti negativi:

The problem I ran into the most was having trouble loading the videos. Not sure if this is actually and issue with kaltura or just network issues but I had consistent problems across different networks.

Easy to use video production and sharing

Aspetti positivi:

Not sure if I would have selected this, it was part of the suite of programs available at the time, but was pleasantly surprised. The program was easy to use with a minimal learning curve, produced fine quality videos (even with a laptop webcam), and walked you through sharing.

Aspetti negativi:

Took some effort to learn; find the video tutorials and that helps.

Enhance Your Online Classroom Experience with Kaltura

Commenti: This tool has been useful in providing an easy to use interface to record live sessions, welcome announcements, discussion posts, and provide media enhanced student feedback.

Aspetti positivi:

I love the convenience of Kaltura Video Platform because it is built into my university's learning management system (Blackboard), which does not require downloading any external tools. I like the functionalities of video with screen share capture, audio and webcam recording within an easy to use platform. Also, this platform allows you to upload and store media into your repository to later use across any of your online courses.

Aspetti negativi:

I have experienced technical issues while using the video capture appliance (Personal Capture). For example, after recording, the media library pops up and then my screen would freeze for a length of time. I would switch browsers and enable Adobe Flash, but was unsuccessful. So, I often use a different recording device and use Kaltura Video Platform to upload, edit, and store my media.

Love Kaltura for Online Classes

Commenti: Overall, Kaltura is a great program for online classes that require students to submit recorded speeches/videos.

Aspetti positivi:

Kaltura makes uploading and embedding media easy! I used the platform various times to record and upload/embed videos for speech classes and it was relatively easy to use each time.

Aspetti negativi:

Although Kaltura is easy to use and navigate, I had issues embedding videos. The speeches often took long to upload/embed and sometimes were delayed before being available to view.

Kaltura is Easy and as Accessible as it can be

Aspetti positivi:

Kaltura has auto-generated closed captioning software that is pretty accurate that makes this software easier for use and also universally accessible around educational institutes around the world.

Aspetti negativi:

This software does seem a little buggy at times where videos can pause at weird times and I'd have to restart the video.

Great for making presentations

Commenti: free

Aspetti positivi:

Allows for ease when organizing and developing a prenarrated presentation. Lets you upload images and take screenshots.

Aspetti negativi:

Short recording time so you have to make sure your narrations are well organized ahead of time and the initial software download takes a while.

Great platform to post videos.

Aspetti positivi:

I loved the level of professionalism. Streaming was fast with no glitches. I got my work done quickly thanks to their excellent streaming quality.

Aspetti negativi:

Since I am on the user side of the software, I can't really think of negative things, except when I once had a problem and their customer service department weren't quick to respond.

We ran a trial of Kaltura to see how it would perform in classroom use

Commenti: Ease of use, good video quality, and more participation from my students watching the films for class.

Aspetti positivi:

I loved the ease of use compared to the old system we used that required login, the proper Java files, and a lot of patience. The video quality was excellent and the ability to set up pages in Canvas was a plus

Aspetti negativi:

I didn't not like anything about Kaltura. Our college decided to go with Ilos, and I never could figure out why. I liked them the same, and didn't find any problems with Kaltura.
