UMPI uses Kaltura, a video creation, storage and sharing platform to give faculty, staff and students a space to create and share dynamic, private and accessible video-based content. You'll likely see Kaltura videos from your professors, in your Brightspace courses. Kaltura can be accessed in Brightspace, under the Tools menu, or directly from the MyUMPI portal launchpad, to create, store and share your own videos.
There are two main elements in Kaltura: the Kaltura Capture app, to record videos, and My Media--where your videos are stored and shared from.
A personal computer (laptop or desktop) is recommended. You will not be able to download the Capture recorder on a Chromebook or other device that does not support downloads.
Reliable internet access
A reliable microphone & webcam
Accessibility & Privacy Statements:
My Media is your own, private video storage space. From My Media, you can view your videos, edit videos and captions and control the Sharing settings.
You can share your Kaltura videos directly in Assignmetns and Discussions in Brighspace, or you can publish them to share in other applications (like Strut), or via email.
If you have technical difficulties, or trouble downloading Capture recorder, uploading videos or accessing My Media, please reach out to our UMS:IT Support team by:
