How to Use My Media and Course Media Gallery
My Media is located on the NavBar of the Brightspace homepage. It can always be easily accessed by clicking Video at the top of any Brightspace page. My Media is a repository for all of your videos, which can then be distributed to any of your courses.
After you record a video using Kaltura, this is where you find your videos.
