This plugin connects a content management system to the Opencast video platform, enabling educators and organizations to manage and publish video content directly from their site. It is designed for administrators, authors, and viewers who need a secure and integrated video workflow.

• Video Upload and Recording: Upload video files directly to Opencast or create new recordings using the Opencast Studio browser-based tool. Access to these features can be restricted to specific user roles.
• Role-Based Access Control: Manage who can view published videos by linking playback permissions directly to the CMS's user roles, ensuring content is only available to authorized audiences.
• Integrated Video Player: Embed the Opencast Paella Player for playback, which supports features like multiple synchronized video streams. The player respects the configured access permissions.
• Content Management Shortcodes: Use provided shortcodes to display lists of available videos, embed single episodes, or add upload and recording buttons directly into posts and pages.
• Centralized Video Library: Administrators can view and manage all videos connected through the plugin from a single dashboard within the CMS admin panel.
