We are excited to announce our upcoming release of the Kaltura-Zoom Integration. This release is feature rich, focused on workflow improvements and includes the following new capabilities:

• Ability to manage settings directly in the KMC
• Admin authentication via a code for enhanced security
• Automatic deletion of recordings from Zoom once ingested into Kaltura
• Automatic publishing of recordings to the LMS Course for users of Zoom LTI Pro
• Improved resiliency to ensure no recording is missed
• Support for On-Prem and Regional Clouds (Q3)
• And more…

The new version will be available from next week. Upgrading to the latest version is easy!  Check out the instructions in our updated documentation, available in the Kaltura Knowledge Center May 23rd. 

The Watchlater Module provides users a quick and easy way to create their own Watch Later playlist.

Once enabled by the Admin, the option “Add to Watch Later”, will display in the Actions menu in the media page.

In cases where the playlist capability is not enabled, the Watch Later option may be added to the user navigation menu.

KAF admins may also enable the Watch Later feature, allowing users to add media to the Watch Later playlist, then watch the media in MediaSpace Video Portal and Kaltura Podcasts (KMS Go).

Also in this release, the current limit on the number of categories that a single entry can be published to has been increased to 1000.

Our new Time / Date Module provides admins different display options for time and dates. The module includes two formats that Admins can choose from to best fit cultural contexts and space considerations:

• Ability to choose AM/PM or 24H display for time in Kaltura MediaSpace Video Portal (KMS).
• Ability to customize the date and time display across KMS, with support for locales. This enables better support for languages such as Japanese or Korean.

In addition, Admins also have the option to assign different date formats within each site. For example, an American format can be applied for English speakers, and a European format for the French speakers.

It is now possible to share audio while sharing screen via chromium based browsers (Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge). 

This feature is available on both Windows and Mac OS X devices.

We’ve added two new engagement metrics to the Webcasting Analytics dashboard in the Kaltura Management Console (KMC) for our Kaltura Virtual Events customers:

• Add to calendar showing the number of times users clicked to download a calendar invite for this session.
• Audience reactions showing a breakdown of the audience reactions during the broadcast, by type (Love, Applause, Laugh, Wow, Curious)
