Retention: Videos that are not played in over 4 years will be deleted. In addition, UC Berkeley Kaltura Service reserves the right to delete media over six years old and/or media not associated with an active CalNet ID. Please download and save any needed files before they are deleted, or before you graduate from the university or before your last day of employment. (Depending on your affiliation, you get a small grace period (link is external)before your CalNet ID becomes inactive.)
Storage: Unlimited. There is no storage limit for the Kaltura platform through July 31, 2025. After this date, storage limits are subject to change.
