Kaltura My Media
The Kaltura My Media area is a private space where you may upload and manage your media content. From the My Media area you may edit your videos' options, manage captions, create clips from your videos, delete videos, publish videos to the Course Media Gallery, and more.
Kaltura Media Gallery
The Kaltura Media Gallery is the designated media gallery for each course. Faculty can utilize the Media Gallery to publish or un-publish videos and video quizzes, and view detailed analytics of course videos and video quizzes.
Kaltura Media Mashup
The Kaltura Media Mashup tool is primarily used for embedding content into the course from Kaltura - either from the faculty member’s My Media collection or from the Shared Repository. Faculty can upload new content to their My Media collection from here but are not able to manage the content beyond uploading and embedding.

The Kaltura Video Quiz tool allows faculty to add quiz questions and/or annotations to any video in Kaltura (including YouTube videos that have been added to a faculty member’s My Media collection).
