You can upload self-produced content (videos and audio files) to the service and share content with others via a link or embed code, for example in Canvas. Kaltura also includes a screen capture application, Kaltura Capture, which lets you record your computer screen, your own video and audio. With Kaltura Express Capture you can record your video and audio via the browser, but not the screen.
You can do light editing of videos in Kaltura. For example, you can trim a piece off the beginning and the end. In the editor you can add subtitles to the video.

- Upload videos, images and audio files to the service and set viewing rights (private, unlisted, public)
