Zoom Recordings in MediaSpace

MediaSpace is a cloud-based content management system for creating and sharing video developed by Kaltura. If you are a faculty member or student, you may already be familiar with Kaltura's media tools in UNM Canvas. MediaSpace offers a way to manage video, including Zoom cloud recordings, for non-academic use cases. Zoom cloud recordings at UNM have been copied over to your My Media repository since August 1, 2020.

What is My Media?

My Media is the media repository for a single user. Every user has a personal, searchable repository for viewing and managing private video content. Media items in My Media may be published into courses, embeded as content on a webpage, or directly shared as a link. My Media is consistent across all Kaltura environments such as the media tools in UNM Canvas and UNM MediaSpace. Use My Media to:


How to Log In to MediaSpace and Access My Media

Note: If your Zoom cloud recording was created as part of an academic class, you should already be accessing your recordings through My Media in UNM Canvas where it can be securely shared to a course. For more information on accessing My Media in UNM Canvas, please refer to How to Use the Media Tools in Canvas

1. In a browser, navigate to https://mediaspace.unm.edu/.

2. In the top right, click the User Menu > Login.

mediaspace-login

If you are already signed in another UNM service (Lobomail, UNM Canvas, Zoom, ect...), you will automatically sign in without additional steps.

3. If you are redirected to the UNM Login page, enter your full UNM email address (e.g., <your UNM NetID>@unm.edu). Do not just put your NetID. You must add the @unm.edu to the end.

*Note: HSC users cannot log in with their salud email address.  They may not always have an active UNM email address but can still/need to log in using <NetID>@unm.edu, where <NetID> is the HSC user’s UNM Main Campus NetID. In other words, always append @unm.edu to the Main Campus NetID (regardless of email account status) when authenticating.

How to Edit Captions on a Recording

Beginning April 8th, 2020, fully automatic (machine) captions are created by default for any new media uploaded to your Kaltura My Media repository. Machine captions do not generally meet accessibility requirements, but Kaltura offers tools that let you review and edit/improve your transcript(s).

Note: The captions are created after the video is uploaded and rendered; there is a short delay before they are available.


Kaltura calls the captioning service Reach. Using the built-in tools, you can

  • Search and replace text
  • Add speaker IDs
  • Insert additional caption lines and more...

See:  Editing Captions - REACH v2
