## Getting Started
You need two things: a **KS** (Kaltura session string) and a **partner ID** (number). Replace them in the file below, open it in a browser, and click the button.
```html
Media Manager
```
The resulting dialog opens with default filters, no upload button, and no row actions — a read-only media browser.
### What just happened
1. The **loader script** downloads the Media Manager widget from the Kaltura CDN.
2. `createWorkspace` registers the runtime with your credentials.
3. `getRuntimeAsync` resolves once the widget is ready.
4. `mountVisual` opens the modal. It closes itself via its built-in X button.
### Use an inline table instead
You can mount the widget directly into a container element rather than opening a modal. Replace the `mountVisual` call with:
```html
```
```js
runtime.mountVisual({
type: 'table',
target: 'media-table',
settings: { context: { type: 'myMedia' } },
});
```
The container must have explicit width and height. Tables are multi-instance — you can mount more than one.
To unmount later: `runtime.unmountVisual(id)` (where `id` is returned by `mountVisual`).

- [Uploads](/docs/embeddable-kaltura-products/media-manager/uploads) — Enable file uploads and understand the lifecycle
- [Header](/docs/embeddable-kaltura-products/media-manager/header) — Filters, upload button, status indicator, breadcrumbs
- [Data & Credentials](/docs/embeddable-kaltura-products/media-manager/data) — Interceptors, media type filters, page size, credential rotation
