Canvas offers flexible options for adding video content to your course site, including recording directly to Canvas, linking video, and embedding media using Panopto or Canvas embedded tools. This guide focuses on the video embedding capabilities of Panopto. Guidance on this page is meant to help you in creating videos to send video announcements, video/audio assignment feedback, or for sharing supplementary “in time” video content.
Steps for Embedding Panopto Videos
Once you have uploaded your video content to Panopto, follow these steps to embed your Panopto video on your Canvas pages.
- Navigate to your video or playlist in Panopto and hover over it with your mouse. When the menu options appear upon hovering, click to select “Share”.
- When the “Share” menu opens, adjust and confirm who has access: option is set to ”Anyone at your organization” with the link. You must click on “Save Changes” to confirm the access if adjusted. If your access setting was already set to this option, you will not need to adjust or save anything.
- Now, at the top of the “Share” menu, click on ”Embed”, and your embed code will appear. It will begin with ”<iframe src=”https://” followed by a string of custom code for your video. Select and copy this block of code
- Navigate to the Canvas course page where your video will be embedded and open the Rich Content Editor. Place your cursor where you want to video, then select the ”Insert/edit media” icon within your editor, which will open a pop-up window.
- Select the ”Embed” tab and paste your custom code block into the field. Click ”OK” to complete this process.
- Click the ”Save” button.
