Internet judge

This platform gives freedom to make PowerPoint presentations and webcam with both screens great advantage of this. Very professional and no type of glitch.

Instructional Designer

It is easy to use and allows high quality video to be embedded on-the-go. This is an added advantage for companies who want to onboard video services in their business plan.

PhD Candidate

My overall experience with Kaltura has been horrible. I will never use it again.

Instructional Technology Assistant

This tool has been useful in providing an easy to use interface to record live sessions, welcome announcements, discussion posts, and provide media enhanced student feedback.

Manager of Academic Enterprise Systems

Kaltura is a valuable tool that integrates wonderfully with Canvas LMS. We have it set up for Teachers and Students to upload and publish videos.

Marketing Director

Kaltura has been very easy to work with as a faculty member and gives students a good viewing experience.

Customer Support is the absolute worst. And the KMC is Flash based.

Kaltura had integrated with the rest of the university's technology in such a way that it is extremely easy for me to use and highly useful for me and my students.

Kaltura is the worst product I have ever used.

I love the convenience of Kaltura Video Platform because it is built into my university's learning management system (Blackboard), which does not require downloading any external tools.

Graduate Research Assistant

I like all the features that come with the screen capture capabilities.

Doctor

The program itself is very non intuitive and annoying. It is buggy, as it sometimes lasted for hours for a 10 minute video to upload.

Special Projects Assistant

This software does seem a little buggy at times where videos can pause at weird times and I'd have to restart the video.

I have experimented with the desktop screen recording solutions for my virtual classes and it works pretty well.

iMovie

It's been a headache since day one of using this software in school. It does the bare minimum, glitches often, and has an unfriendly UI. 

Subpar Software 

Horrible experience

A solid tool to manage video recordings and provide them to our students.

Managing video recording of classes

Overall good platform

Dear Abby, Thank you so much for the positive review. It's always a treat to read how our customers are enjoying our solutions. 

Regarding the slow loading times, it's true that it could be due to connection speed, network load, or the size of the video file. Optimal loading time is a factor our developers always keep in mind as they work to improve and update our solutions. However, if the issue persists, I would love for you to notify Customer Support and see if they can help you solve your upload speed.

Thanks again, Abby!

I'm using this platform for a long time. It's my favorite tool for all types of learning. This makes my work fast and easy.

Full-featured and well integrated at my school

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. It's always a pleasure to read about our customers enjoying our products. Improving the teaching/learning experience in a convenient way is our top priority and your feedback reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. We took note of your suggestion about window selection and sent it to the team for review. Thanks for that.

My overall experience with Kaltura has been horrible. I will never use it again. 

Kaltura is the worst product I have ever used 

It was frustrating but took a learning curve to finally figure it out. Upload is slow in my opinion.

Kaltura can be Kalulating

I like what the software does, it just seems to be slow when posting videos.

Awesome features for screen captures

Easy to use video production and sharing

This tool has been useful in providing an easy to use interface to record live sessions, welcome announcements, discussion posts, and provide media enhanced student feedback. 

Enhance Your Online Classroom Experience with Kaltura

learning needs have been met, and that's always great!

Kaltura Video helped me use my school's LMS more efficiently

Great platform to post videos. 

Ease of use, good video quality, and more participation from my students watching the films for class.

We ran a trial of Kaltura to see how it would perform in classroom use

Great for making presentations

Video hosting with Kaltura

Easy to setup and use, helpful video tutorials, ability for users to changes playback modes with videos with slide presentations and webcam lectures.

Easy to use video creator

Kaltura is a valuable tool that integrates wonderfully with Canvas LMS. We have it set up for Teachers and Students to upload and publish videos. Kaltura has also launched In-Video Quizzing, so students watch a portion of a video, and then are prompted to answer a quiz question before they're able to continue watching. This interaction is awesome.

Kaltura's customer service, however, is horrendous! Out of all of the technologies I manage for Utah Valley University, Kaltura is by far the worst at responding to emails and fulfilling customer requests. For example, I sent an email to their customer support account and cc'd our customer success manager and technical rep over a month ago, using the instructions provided on their site, and have yet to receive any response.

Also, the Kaltura Management Console (KMC) is all Flash based. It's 2016. Seriously. Update the KMC.
