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:

1. Create a new page in your course and title it "Lecture Recordings" or similar.
2. 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.
   
   
    
3. Select Authorize if prompted by Mediasite to access your Canvas account.
4. Select Filter and filter by Type: Channel and Owner: Shared With Me. Then select Apply.
   
   
    
5. 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:

1. Select Filter and filter by Type: Presentation and Owner: Shared With Me. Then select Apply.
2. Find your course. You can use the search bar to narrow your results ex. 1251 MATH 100 D100
3. 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.
