Video, audio, and image files from Kaltura (My Media / Media Gallery) can be embedded in a Canvas page, assignment, discussion, or anywhere the rich content editor box displays in Canvas. Kaltura is SLCC's video hosting platform for accessing digital media within Canvas.

Important: We highly recommend you upload personal videos you have into Kaltura instead of Canvas files, as there is a large amount of storage for rich media content and videos to be stored and accessible.

First, create or open the page where you wish to embed the media. Click the "Edit" box to see the Rich Text Editor of the page.
