Method 1: Get a shareable link from My Media in Canvas

Note: Links obtained through this method will share the video in a video player that has a download button. If you do not want the recipient to be able to download a copy of your video, use Method 2 instead.

Note: Sharing a screen capture + camera recording that was made with Kaltura Capture via this method will only share the primary video source, which is usually the screen recording. To share the video with both screen capture + camera video, use Method 2 instead.

1. Log in to Canvas from https://www.uwgb.edu/canvas.

2. Click Account > My Media in the Canvas Global Navigation Menu to open your My Media library.
   
   

3. Click the title of the video you wish to share to open that video's media page.
   
   

4. In the top-right corner of the video player, click the share icon.
   
   

5. Right-click the web address in the link box and select copy to copy the video's share link.
   
   

6. You can paste the share link anywhere to share it. The link will work for anyone.
