Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Answers to all your questions.
-
How long does it take to migrate from Kaltura to UbiCast?
A standard migration project typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, from the specification phase to the final switch. This timeframe can even be shortened depending on your team's responsiveness. In all cases, the extraction and importing of your media happen in the background. In practice, we set a switchover date together: from that day on, your users start creating their new content directly on Nudgis, while your Kaltura archives continue to import gradually in the background. Service continuity is thus 100% guaranteed!
-
Will we lose our video history and the links embedded in my LMS?
Your media, channel architecture, and metadata (titles, descriptions, annotations) are fully imported into Nudgis. To avoid breaking your existing LMS courses, our technical team provides a precise URL mapping table and guides you step-by-step through the link updating strategy.
-
Do faculty members need to install software on their computers?
Absolutely not. Everything is 100% browser-based. Your instructors create, record, edit, and publish their videos without having to download or update a single desktop app.
-
Where are our data and videos actually hosted?
All your data is stored in Europe with OVH. Unlike solutions subject to extraterritorial US laws like the Cloud Act, UbiCast guarantees total GDPR compliance and full intellectual property ownership of your content.
-
How does training and onboarding work for our teams?
You're not left on your own. From the outset, your dedicated Customer Success Manager organizes onboarding sessions for your administrators and faculty. In addition, our France-based technical support team remains available without limits by phone, video call, or ticket.
