Getting Started with MediaCentral
Overview
MediaCentral is a cloud based web service developed by Kaltura which facilitates the conversion and distribution of various audio and video media formats. Faculty may upload media content to the MediaCentral server which automatically converts and optimizes your media for hassle-free distribution on the web. Once uploaded, MediaCentral will provide links and embed code that you can use to share your media with others. This service is offered to the IWU community at no cost.
