Notifications

Kaltura implements a set of HTTP POST notifications that could be sent upon specific media events to a URL on partners` host servers.

The following notifications modes are supported and could be configured by partners at their account settings page within Kaltura Management console:

• Server notifications
  Notifications that are being sent, asynchronously, to a partner hosted URL, directly from Kaltura servers.
• Client notifications
  Notifications that are being sent to a partner hosted URL from Kaltura client components (kaltura widget) and are synchronized with widgets internal steps control.

Kaltura notifications provide partners with the following functionalities:

• Ability to integrate with Kaltura technology in a way that is synchronized with media events occurring on Kaltura’s servers and/or with the internal steps control of Kaltura client components, when applicable.
