***NOTE: Content from some external (third party) tools that support Canvas integration can be linked or embedded in Canvas pages, assignments, discussions, quizzes, and announcements with the Rich Content Editor. These tools include Canvas Commons, Films on Demand, Microsoft Teams Meetings, Kaltura/My Media, Office 365, TedEd, Vimeo, and YouTube. Kaltura/My Media and Office 365 have dedicated buttons in the toolbar, while the rest can be accessed through the Apps button. Some tools only have the option for content to appear as a link, whereas others can be embedded.***

***NOTE: For PlayPosit, this method is only for ungraded activities. For graded PlayPosit activities, please use Canvas assignments and the external tool submission type.***
