Accessing My Media through the Canvas Global Navigation Menu allows you to view your library of recordings, create recordings, upload recordings, create video quizzes, access viewership analytics, order and edit machine-generated captions, and launch the video editor. To access My Media from the Global Navigation Menu found on the left edge of most Canvas pages, select "Account," then "My Media."

Inserting/Embedding a My Media Video in a Course

Create or edit the Canvas course content item where you'd like to insert the video, like a Page, Discussion, Announcement, or any other item in Canvas which you edit with the Rich Content Editor (e.g. Assignment instructions, etc.). In the Rich Content Editor's text box, place the cursor where you'd like the video player to appear. In the image below, the cursor is in the upper-left of the text-box.

Select the "My Media" button (rainbow pinwheel icon) in the text editor toolbar.

Scroll through your videos until you find the video you'd like to insert and select its "</> Embed" button.

Or, to upload a new video, select "Add New > Media Upload" and "Choose a file to upload" from your computer. When the "Upload Completed!" message is displayed, enter a title for the video in the Name field.

Select "</> Save and Embed" to embed your newly uploaded video, or, to access advanced video embed options before embedding, select the "Embed Settings" button (looks like a gear).
