OVERVIEW
This article describes how to share your lecture recording videos in Canvas, SFU's Learning Management System. You can choose to share a playlist (channel) of all your recordings, or share each video individually.
For audio only recordings, you can direct your students to visit SFU's Audio Recordings Archive.
Embed a playlist or video in Canvas
Lecture Videos Recorded by IT Services
If IT Services is recording your lectures, you can embed a playlist (also known as a channel) which includes past and future course recordings:
- Create a new page in your course and title it "Lecture Recordings" or similar.
- Select the Mediasite plug-in (four blue circles) from the page’s tool bar. If you don't see the icon, click the three dots for more tools or enlarge your browser window.

- Select Authorize if prompted by Mediasite to access your Canvas account.
- Select Filter and filter by Type: Channel and Owner: Shared With Me. Then select Apply.

- Find your course and select Embed. You can also use the search bar to narrow your results ex. 1251 MATH 100 D100

If you prefer to share videos individually:
- Select Filter and filter by Type: Presentation and Owner: Shared With Me. Then select Apply.
- Find your course. You can use the search bar to narrow your results ex. 1251 MATH 100 D100
- We recommend choosing Embed Video which will insert a video player to watch on the same page. You can also choose Link Video to insert a link to watch the video in another page or window.

Self-Recorded Videos
If you’re uploading videos to MyMediasite by yourself, see Share Videos Using a Playlist or Channel for instructions to create and share a channel.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. I'm not using Canvas to teach and IT SErvices is recording on my behalf. How do I share my recordings with my students?

ex. https://stream.sfu.ca/Media/Channel/1251-bus-207-d100
Your semesterly recordings will automatically sync with your SFU group. If your students can't access to the recording, please contact IT Services for assistance.
