How to Add Video or Audio to Blackboard - (using My Media)

Kaltura My Media is your personal area for uploading media content.  By default this content is private but you can link to content in your My Media area from your course, and you can chose to publish your content to a specific course (e.g. instructional video, welcome message, or use it to submit student video assignments). Any content that you upload to Kaltura is automatically saved in your personal My Media area. Learn how you can access it on Blackboard below.
