How do I turn in a kaltura video in canvas?

This could depend on how the teacher sets up assignment submission. I am not familiar with Kaltura so cannot say the best way to do this, only some possible options based on other platforms and the media type. If it has the ability to create a "Share Link," then that could be entered if teacher selects URL as an option for submission. If they set up File Upload as an option, then the video from Kaltura would have to be downloaded in order to upload it. One could also look into using Canvas Studio as an option. If a student has access to Canvas Studio (it will show up as a link on the far left that says Studio), then the video could be uploaded there. Canvas Studio can show up as an option in the submission panel for an assignment (I know it does if File Upload is the option selected), which would allow the student to select the video.

Hi @MelissaJones425,

As @JeffCampbell mentioned, there are a lot of variables at play with your question.  At my institution, assignments that require Kaltura video submissions are generally set up as text assignments, which give you access to the Canvas rich content editor where you would embed the Kaltura video (using the plug icon to access Kaltura).  There are a number of other options though, and in the global Canvas community, we cannot access your specific Canvas environment/account to see how your teacher chose to set things up.  If you could perhaps show us a screenshot of the assignment instructions and submission area, that would help narrow down the options so we could give you more specific guidance.
