What is MediaSpace?
Kaltura MediaSpace™ is a market leading social video and rich media portal. Users can create, upload, share, search,
browse, and watch live and on demand videos, video presentations, screencasts, and other rich media content,
with full user management and moderation capabilities that enforce compliance and governance.
MediaSpace leverages the power of online video to promote community, collaboration, knowledge sharing, and
social activities. In the past, single administrators or small teams within the organization would create and publish
videos to a large audience. MediaSpace revolutionizes this process by enabling democratization of media creation
with multiple contributors, moderators, and viewers in a multitude of channels. Kaltura MediaSpace provides a
superb cross device user experience, unmatched user engagement capabilities, and powerful control and
governance tools.

systems (LDAP, Shibboleth, CAS) as well as custom identity providers for single sign-on (SSO). You can also choose
a hybrid approach where authentication is managed by your organization and authorization is handled by Kaltura.

content before it is published.

How does it work?
Kaltura MediaSpace is managed via the MediaSpace administrative console. Administrators can configure
settings, add/enable/disable customized modules, change the look and feel of the portal and manage users.
While MediaSpace is a powerful and configurable front-end application, all rich media content in the
organization is managed centrally from within the Kaltura Management Console (KMC). This feature-rich
interface, enables non-technical admins to centrally manage all rich media content in a centralized repository,
edit metadata, create categories for content segregation, manage scheduling and access control, analyze usage
and trends, and much more.
