[Using Sakai] [sakai-kaltura] How do you approach Sakai timeouts when viewing long video content

[Rebecca L Darling]

Thanks so much for your replies.

Jama, would you be able to tell me what your Sakai time-out is set to?

David, that Media Gallery modification sounds like it might be what we're
looking for. Would it be something you're able to share with us?

Mathieu, I agree. I don't know if a separate window is the solution, but we
can explore it.

Thanks again!
Becca
