Video host integration
Paste the address of a public Kaltura media page that contains kaltura.com, and Mindstamp finds the video file on that page and streams it from Kaltura. Add questions, hotspots, and branching on the timeline, and Mindstamp records each viewer’s answers and score without a Kaltura sign-in.
Kaltura video in Mindstamp
| Option | Where in Kaltura | What stays in Kaltura | What Mindstamp adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public kaltura.com media page | A media page on a kaltura.com site, such as videos.kaltura.com/media/ and the entry. | The file and its delivery from the Kaltura CDN. The Kaltura player does not load. | Questions, hotspots, branching, and a report of each viewer’s answers. |
| Custom domain or protected entry | A MediaSpace site on your own domain, or an entry that needs a sign-in, a KS, or tokenized URLs. | Likely refused, or the file address that Mindstamp finds expires later. | Nothing until you upload the file or paste a public kaltura.com page. |
| Upload the file | The Downloads tab on the edit media page, after an admin enables the Downloadmedia module. | Kaltura keeps the original. Mindstamp plays a separate copy. | Adaptive streaming from Mindstamp, a transcript, and Download source. |

Kaltura page link
Mindstamp needs no partner ID, entry ID, or Kaltura session (KS). Its server reads the page and keeps the first MP4 or .m3u8 address it finds.

Questions
Copy the address of a public Kaltura media page that contains kaltura.com. In Mindstamp, select Kaltura on the New video page, paste the address, and create the video when you see Link works. Then add questions, hotspots, or branching in the editor. Mindstamp streams the file from Kaltura and records each answer.
No Mindstamp plan blocks Kaltura links, and Mindstamp needs no Kaltura API access, partner ID, or entry ID. Basic limits each video to 30 minutes. SCORM export needs Core or higher. Kaltura shows no public prices, and an admin turns on its own video quiz in the Quiz module.
Likely not. Kaltura analytics come from play events that a player sends to Kaltura, and Mindstamp does not load the Kaltura player or send anything back. Kaltura still delivers the file from its CDN. Each view, answer, and score for the interactive video is in Mindstamp reports.
Kaltura Video Quiz is a full quiz tool. It pauses for each question, reports each user’s answers and scores, and can send grades to an LMS gradebook over LTI. If your learners sign in to Kaltura through your LMS, it may be all you need. Mindstamp fits when one video needs a quiz and hotspots together, when viewers do not sign in, or when answers must go to HubSpot, Zapier, or a webhook. See Mindstamp vs Kaltura.
Use the kaltura.com media page of the entry, not the course page. A Canvas or Moodle course address does not contain kaltura.com, so Mindstamp refuses it. Then put the Mindstamp video in the course with an embed or a SCORM package. Read how to add interactive video to an LMS.
