Kaltura (My Media) - Getting an Embed Code from My Media
This document details how to get the embed code for a video (to share on a web page, for example):
Retrieving the embed code for a single video
- Sign into Canvas. In the Canvas global navigation menu along the left side of the screen, select Account > My Media
- If you do not wish to access My Media through Canvas, you can alternatively navigate to https://mediaspace.wisconsin.edu/ and select Guest > Login and sign in to your UWGB account. After signing in, select your name and then select "My Media" to navigate to your media library.
- In your My Media library, select the name of the media item you would like to share.
- Select the Share tab underneath the video player.
- Select the Embed tab (in Canvas, this may be the only tab and already selected).
- Choose the Player skin (Basic, Download, Share & Embed, etc.) you wish to use.
- Copy the text in the embed code box by clicking in the box (to select all) and then pressing CTRL + C to copy (Command + C on a Mac).
- You may alternatively right-click in the text box and select “Copy” in the context menu.
- Return to the location you would like to embed your media and use the appropriate HTML editor to paste in the embed code.
Canvas Considerations
If you want to embed a My Media video in a Canvas course page, it is often easier and recommended to use the My Media tool in the Rich Content Editor. Please see: Kaltura - Inserting a Video in Canvas with the Rich Content Editor
