What is Kaltura "My Media"?
Kaltura is a media storage, creation and sharing service used at UW-Superior. "My Media" is the name of the Kaltura tool in Canvas that displays your media library.

Many courses request that students create and submit videos as part of their course work. Although Canvas has some built-in options for media creation and storage, there are limitations to how much you can store in Canvas. Kaltura has no limit on how much content you can create and store as long as they are being used in a course.
Where can I get help?
First, read this detailed introduction to Kaltura My Media and how to use it to support your Canvas coursework: How to Create and Manage Audio and Video Using Kaltura My Media
If you need assistance, please reach out to canvas@uwsuper.edu to connect with the Canvas team at UW-Superior.
Canvas Support, available via the “Help” menu in Canvas, cannot offer help with Kaltura My Media because it is a third-party service we license. You can access Kaltura through Canvas, but it is not a built-in Canvas tool.
