Control Kaltura Video Display

Kaltura allows users to record videos with two video feeds. This is a picture-in-picture (PIP) video. An example is when an instructor records her webcam (video of herself) as well as her computer screen (which could be showing a presentation, website, diagram, etc.).

Available Buttons

When viewing a PIP video, the viewer can control how the two video feeds display using buttons on the video. The buttons appear on the left upper area of the video when the viewer's mouse hovers over the video. The image below shows the available buttons.
