Tobira is a video portal for Opencast and aims to be a pleasant interface through which users interact with your Opencast content. It lets you present videos, series and playlists in a customizable, hierarchical page structure, but also makes it easy for users to search through all media. Additionally, it offers tools to upload and manage videos. It's possible to connect Tobira to virtually any authentication system and integrate it into your university's/organization's infrastructure.
You can try it out for yourself here: https://tobira.opencast.org.

Tobira (扉) is Japanese for "door", "hinged door" or "front page" (of a book). A video portal is a kind of door, so we chose that name. It is also short and somewhat pronounceable for English speaking people.
