Kaltura MediaSpace: Transferring Video Ownership

Article Type: How-To

Question: Can I transfer ownership of my MediaSpace video to someone else? 

Answer: Yes. You can transfer ownership of your video to another user’s MediaSpace account.

• Once the transfer is complete, you will not be able to edit the video. 
• The video will no longer appear in your MediaSpace account. 
• Transferring ownership will not impact the shared links of the video.  Example: If the video link is used in D2L courses, transferring ownership will not affect those links.

Copyright

• Changing the video owner does not necessarily make them the copyright owner. 

• If you are the video author/creator and you transfer ownership, let the new owner know of any copyright restrictions.  For example, can your video be copied, modified, published, distributed, displayed, etc.

Contacting the New Owner

• Always make sure the person you are transferring the video to knows that you will be moving the video to their account. 
• If the new person is not aware of this transfer and sees new videos in their account, they may delete the videos because they do not know where they came from. 
• This will permanently delete the video and cause any links pointing to this video to break.
