Customize your video settings
To customize your video before submitting, click the settings icon next to the media you want to embed.
1. Choose from the available options:
- Choose player: Choose from pre-configured players. Your administrator defines the available players.
- Max embed size: Set the maximum display size of the embedded video. The default size in Canvas is 1200x720, but you can adjust it to fit your layout and design preferences.
- Thumbnail embed: Display a static preview image instead of loading the full video player immediately. This helps improve page load speed and gives users control over when to play the video.
- Save these settings as default: Enable this option to apply your selected embed settings automatically to future media embeds, streamlining the process for repeated use.
2. Enable the Submit as Assignment toggle button to embed the media as an assignment.
3. Click Embed at the top-right corner.
Your video will appear in the assignment text editor.
