Kaltura Video Players
The user creating the video link or embed (typically the video owner) determines which video player is used when they create the link or embed; the viewer does not get to choose. The same video content can be displayed with different video players in different places.Â
Here are the video players available on the UW System (except for UW Madison) instance of Kaltura. Users who would like a new player to be created with a different combination of features should submit a Change Request.
