Prepare for Kaltura/My Media storage changes

From: Technology-enhanced Learning and Online Strategies (TLOS)

Beginning on or soon after May 15, retention settings for Zoom meeting recordings and other videos stored in Kaltura at video.vt.edu or Canvas My Media will change. Videos that have not been published to a Canvas course or a video.vt.edu channel or collection will be deleted if they have not been viewed in the past 24 months. Video owners will receive a notification email 14 days before removal and can delete unneeded files anytime. To retain a file, owners just need to play the video for 15 seconds.

Kaltura users are encouraged to take the following actions:

Before May 15

• Delete unneeded video files stored in Canvas My Media or at video.vt.edu. Reviewing stored files now will reduce the number of future email notifications received.
• Set notifications@kaltura.com as a trusted contact or safe sender in their email application.

On or after May 15

• Video owners will receive a notification email 14 days before the scheduled removal of their unpublished or unwatched video(s).
• To retain a recording, visit the video using the link in the email notification and play it for at least 15 seconds.
