**UPDATE** Kaltura Player Upgrade to V7 on May 15th

May 7, 2024

**UPDATE** Kaltura Media Player Upgrade rescheduled for Wednesday, May 15th, 2024.  

On May 15th the V7 Player will automatically replace the player shown in several areas: 

  • MediaSpace: Users will encounter the V7 player when viewing MediaSpace pages. 
  • Canvas: My Media entry page, Media Gallery, Media Gallery Playlists, and New LTI embeds will use the V7 player. 

On May 16th all LTI Embeds added prior to May 16th will be automatically migrated to the V7 Player.  

Media accessed through assistive technology like screen readers can navigate the player controls using this Knowledge Base Article. 

Important Note:
The V7 player will not be available through the “Share” function on May 15th due to some issues found in testing.  The Kaltura team will provide more information on when this function will be available.  Content using the Kaltura Embed/share function will need to be migrated manually to utilize the new player.  Information on that process is being developed and will be released over the coming months.     

Please review this Knowledge Base article comparing the new and old players for more information.
