      Notes:
    • Recordings must be uploaded to Kaltura My Media in order to be embedded into a D2L course.
    • The file will not appear in My Media until it has been processed by the Kaltura server. The amount of time required to process will depend on the file size.
    • Uploading is finished only after the URL appears on the entry, even when it states 100%.
