Video host integration
Paste the address of a public kaltura.com media page, and Mindstamp finds the video file in that page and streams it from Kaltura into its own player. Viewers do not need a Kaltura sign-in, and Mindstamp records each viewer’s answers and score.
Kaltura video in Mindstamp
| Option | Where in Kaltura | What stays in Kaltura | What Mindstamp adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public kaltura.com media page | A media page on a kaltura.com site, such as videos.kaltura.com/media/ and the entry. | The file and its delivery from the Kaltura CDN. The Kaltura player does not load. | A quiz and hotspots in one video, with each viewer’s score. |
| Custom domain or protected entry | A MediaSpace site on your own domain, or an entry that needs a sign-in, a KS, or tokenized URLs. | Everything. | Nothing. An address without kaltura.com shows “Not a video file”. A protected entry likely fails or expires later. |
| Upload the file | The Downloads tab on the edit media page, after an admin enables the Downloadmedia module. | Kaltura keeps the original. Mindstamp plays a separate copy. | A copy that no Kaltura session or token can expire, with a transcript. |

Kaltura page link
Mindstamp needs no partner ID, entry ID, or Kaltura session (KS). Its server reads the page and keeps the first MP4 or .m3u8 address it finds.

Questions
Copy the address of a public Kaltura media page that contains kaltura.com. In Mindstamp, select Kaltura on the New video page, paste the address, and create the video when you see Link works. Then add questions and hotspots in the editor. Mindstamp streams the file from Kaltura and records each answer.
No Mindstamp plan blocks Kaltura links, and Mindstamp needs no Kaltura API access or partner ID. Mindstamp Basic allows videos up to 30 minutes, which can rule out a long lecture recording. A Mindstamp SCORM package needs a Core plan or higher. Kaltura shows no public prices, and an admin turns on its own video quiz in the Quiz module.
Likely not. Kaltura analytics come from play events that a player sends to Kaltura, and Mindstamp does not load the Kaltura player or send anything back. Kaltura still delivers the file from its CDN. Read views and scores for the interactive video in Mindstamp.
If your viewers sign in to Kaltura through your LMS, it may be. Kaltura Video Quiz scores each viewer and can send grades to the LMS gradebook over LTI. Mindstamp fits when one video needs a quiz and hotspots together, or when viewers do not sign in. See Mindstamp vs Kaltura.
Use the kaltura.com media page of the entry, not the course page. A course page is not a Kaltura media page, so Mindstamp cannot find the video file on it. Then put the Mindstamp video in the course with an embed or a SCORM package. Read how to add interactive video to an LMS.
