Kaltura is a media hosting platform dedicated to Enterprise and Education needs. You can connect your account to Wonda so you can either import your media (images, videos, 360 media and audios) from the Kaltura platform or upload media to Kaltura directly from Wonda.
Note that these features are only available for paid plans and need 4K support to be activated in your Kaltura account. Not sure it's enabled? Contact Kaltura Support.
How to set up the connection with Kaltura? (Hub Admin only)
First, please make sure you have the following roles:
Admin role in Wonda
Kaltura KMC access to generate the App Token
1. Generating the Editor & Player App Tokens from Kaltura
Requirement
You have to be the Admin or App Token manager of the Kaltura account
Process
Log in to http://developer.kaltura.com with the KMC credentials
Choose a Kaltura account
Don't modify the value of Global parameters
Deploy body : object then appToken: object
For Wonda synchronization, you will need to send 2 requests.
1. Fill in the following information:
Description: Describe the goal of the App Token as you would like
Expiry: Duration of the App Token validity (in seconds). Leave it empty to keep this app valid forever (but don't enter 0 as it will be not valid!)
hashType: SHA1 or SHA256 recommended
sessionDuration: Validity of the session. Leave it empty if you don't want to constrain the time for the users. The value will be equivalent to one day.
sessionType: pick the
USER[0]valuesessionPrivilege:
recommended:
enableentitlement, privacycontext:[your privacy context]sessionUserID: Leave it empty
Click on the Send Request button above and make sure it sends a SUCCESS message.
Then, copy the whole content of the generated code part and save it for later (it will be used for the Editor App Token on the Wonda side).
2. Modify the sessionPrivilege part with disableentitlement and send a second request.
Then again, copy the whole content of the generated code part and save it for later (it will be used for the Player App Token on the Wonda side).
2. Importing the Kaltura App token into Wonda
Once the two App Tokens have been generated from Kaltura (step 1 above), go to the Hub Settings in Wonda and select the "Integration" and Kaltura tab to fill in the App Token required information.
The first generated code goes to the Editor App Token and the second one to the Player App Token.
As the last step, make sure you tick the right option depending on your Kaltura setup:
- Use the email as the user ID
- Use the email prefix as the user ID
- Use a custom id (in this case, please contact our support center for assistance)
How does a user access his Kaltura media in Wonda?
When the integration is done, no further action is required by the user. To be sure the integration has been correctly set, all users can view the information by going to the "User account"> Integration> choosing the right hub.
Now, each time you and all participants belonging to the Hub will open the Media Library to add a new media, you will get the possibility to choose “From Kaltura”.
Note: If you would like to use 360° media from Kaltura in Wonda, you need to tag them as “360” directly in Kaltura so they’re recognized as spherical media. More info is in this Kaltura support article.
