Options

The Embed Settings screen offers the following options:

Choose Player

Embed the default video player; a "Download and Share Player" which exposes download, permalink, and social media sharing options to viewers; a "Simplified Player" with fewer features exposed; or a "Transcript Player" which provides an expanded view of captions during playback.

Audio-Only Player

For audio-only files, Kaltura automatically selects an audio-only player which takes up less screen space than the video player. Users can choose two sizes: 350x80 pixels or 600x80 pixels.

Max Embed Size

Choose a small (400x285 px), medium (608x402 px), or large (900x507 px) video player for your users.

Auto Play

Choose whether a video plays automatically on page load or not.

Start & End Time

Show users a selected clip of a larger video by setting the video to start and end playback at specific times. Note: users can still choose to play the entire video.
