Requirements: Enterprise plan

This article assumes that you have Administrator access to your Qumu account, and Superuser access to CaptionHub.

1. In Qumu

Log into Qumu, via your <yourcompanyname>.qumucloud.com or the <yourcompanyname>.kulu.net login

Click on the Administration button at the top right hand side of the page

Click on "OAuth2.0" on the left hand side, under the Authentication subheading

Click on the Create button

In the Create client dialogue box, enter "CaptionHub" in the description field, and enter https://app.captionhub.com/platforms/qumu/videos/configure_auth in the Redirect URIs field. Hit "Add".

💡

Note: If you use SSO, and therefore a different subdomain to app.captionhub.com, you will need to adjust this URL to use the appropriated subdomain, e.g. https://yourcompany.captionhub.com/platforms/qumu/videos/configure_auth

Copy the ID, and click the "Create button".

2. In CaptionHub

Navigate to the Connectors page, via the drop down menu at the top-right

In the Qumu team domain field, enter your path you use to login in to Qumu, e.g. <yourcompanyname>.qumucloud.com or <yourcompanyname>.kulu.net

Paste the ID you copied from Qumu

Hit the "Update" button at the bottom of the page

Now, return to the Dashboard, and test the connector by selecting “New project from ... Qumu Cloud”. If you have any problems, please raise a ticket with our support team.

Additional setup for automation

Qumu Cloud requires additional authentication for the configuration of automation. You’ll need to request these details from Qumu support by emailing support@qumu.com and ask them to create a client and provide a JWT secret for a “Server Authentication Integration”. They should send a text file back. You’ll need to open the text file and extract the text after “key”: in quotes to use as your Client ID (example shown in red below), and the text after “jwtSecret”: in quotes as the Dynamic Ingest Secret (example shown in blue below). Please don’t include the quotes.

['The auto generated JWT secret is: {"client": {"key": "somekey", "description": "JWT secret for OAUTH2/UCG", "redirectUris": [], "tokenValidityTimeMs": 10800000, "jwtSecret": "somesecret"}}']

Finally, you’ll need to enter the Qumu User ID of the user you want Dynamic Ingest to run on behalf of. This should be the Qumu Cloud ‘Username’ of the user, not the email address. You can find a list of usernames in the Username column of the user page in Qumu Cloud, e.g. https://yourdomain.qumucloud.com/admin/listUsers.

Automations can now be set up by following our automation guide. You can choose to import all presentations from Qumu (from the point the integration is enabled), or if you prefer to import a subset of projects, please set up tags for automation using the guide below.

Using tags for automation

It is possible to set up an automation template to process a subset of videos from your Qumu account. This is done using “Tags” metadata. For this to work, you need to set up a metadata type called “Tags” in your Qumu Cloud account. This metadata type must be called “Tags” and be of type “Tags”. In order to assign this metadata attribute to your presentations, you also need to enable it for all relevant presentation types. The steps for doing this are as follows.

Creating a metadata type for Tags

Click the “Administration” button on the top right of the screen

In the left menu, under “Workflow”, click “Metadata Type Library”

Click the blue “Create” button at the top

Give the new metadata type Name “Tags” and Data type “Tags”. Note that any deviation from this naming will mean the process does not work.

Click Create

Assigning the Tags metadata type to your presentation types

Now you’ll need to add this metadata field to each of your presentation types

In the left menu, under “Workflow”, click “Presentation Types”

For each presentation type you want to add tagging metadata for, click the pencil icon to edit

In the Metadata section, click “Add”

Select the Metadata Type “Tags”. Untick the other boxes, unless you want to show the tags to user.

Tagging a presentation

In the presentation list, click the downward arrow and “Edit”

In the “Info & Settings” tab, you should now see a “Tags” text box. Tags should be entered as a comma separated list.

Click “Re-publish” to update changes

Setting up an automation template on CaptionHub to use tags

Click your company logo/initials on the top right, and select “Automation” from the dropdown menu.

Enter the name of your new automation template and click Create

Select “Qumu” from Project source

From “Automatically import”, choose “Tagged”

Enter the name of the tag in “Filter by tags”

Follow the steps to create an automation, as outlined in our automation guide
