Kaltura Video Recording Retention

How Long are Videos Retained?

Kaltura videos remain accessible for a minimum of 18 months. If a Kaltura video remains unviewed throughout this timeframe, it is flagged for deletion. One month prior to potential deletion, the video owner receives an email notification. They have the option to request preservation beyond the 18-month threshold. If no such request is made, the video is automatically deleted at the conclusion of the 30-day window following the 18-month mark.
