Kaltura, Update embedded videos to use the new player!
In early January we updated the program through which all media is presented and viewed, whether in mediaspace.illinois.edu, Canvas, or embedded on any other Website. We are replacing our old program, Player 2, with Player 7.
All media viewed in mediaspace now use the new player. Also from now on, all media embedded anywhere will also use the new player.
However, any media embedded before the upgrade will continue to use the old player. These should continue to work for some time, but we urge media publishers to upgrade to the new player as soon as possible.
To use the new player, all you need to do is to delete the current link and re-embed by te same method you used.
This is the same whether you used the built-in tools in Canvas [(see this help document for details: [https://answers.uillinois.edu/illinois/114143]) or you grabbed the embed code from mediaspace (See this help document: [https://answers.uillinois.edu/illinois/60619]) and inserted it into the HTML of a Webpage in Canvas or elsewhere.
Player 2 is not going anywhere, so your embedded videos will continue to play for some time, but you will will want to update the embeds to have the current look and feel and to use a fully-supported browser.
