How do I unpublish a video?

Updated on

If you have added a video to your Brightspace course Content or in your Course Gallery, then this video will be marked as Published in Kaltura. If a video is published, it cannot be removed. This prevents the deleting of videos that are currently part of the coursr content. To remove a video you first have to make it Private, which means the video is no longer published.

  • Navigate to Activities in the navbar of your course.
  • Navigate to Kaltura My Media.
Kaltura My Media - SOO-BTH-TESTCURSUS-01 - Google Chrome
  • Choose the Detailed View. You can then see for every video whether it is Published or Private.
