Publishing a video uploaded to My Media in Canvas

This tutorial will show you how to publish a video that has been uploaded to My Media in Canvas. In most situations, you shouldn't need to publish My Media videos. I you use the instructions prepared by CETL, any video uploaded will be available to students enrolled in a course site. The exception to this is if you are sharing a link to a My Media video and that link was obtained in the Kaltura Capture Library after the screen capture was recorded and uploaded.
Step #1:
After logging into Canvas, click on the Account tab in Global Navigation then click the My Media tab.

Important:
Please note, this is not the preferred method for sharing video. Please embed the video in your Canvas course site, rather than making a link. For assistance with embedding a My Media video please contact your instructor. Instructor may contact CETL for additional instructions on embedding My Media video in Canvas course sites.
