Embed Individual Audio/Video

You can only embed individual video/audio media to Canvas or other websites. Images and PDFs are not supported.

Getting the Embed Code

  1. Click Watch & Discuss.
  2. Using the Course, Playlist-Assignments-Groups, and Media drop-down menus, navigate to the media file you would like to embed
  3. Click the Share icon in the top right hand corner.
  4. Customize the appearance of the player by checking/unchecking the following three options:
    • Add the “discuss this media” button under the minimal player. This includes a link below the media player so users can easily go to the CLAS application to participate in annotations/comments.
    • Conserve vertical space as much as possible (“audio only player”). This will customize the player to only display the media player bar.
    • Tiny embed (show only a play button). This will customize the player to only show the play button.
  1. Control the media play settings:
    • Limit the maximum number of times a media can be played within x number of seconds.
    • Determine the start time of where the media should start and stop playing.
