That’s it - good luck with your assignment!

Add new media

Need to upload or record a new video? Use one of the options in the Add New menu in the Kaltura embed window:

• Upload (Visit our article Upload media for guidance.)
• Express Capture (Visit our article Express Capture for guidance.)
• YouTube (Visit our article Add a YouTube video for guidance.)
• Kaltura Capture (Visit our article Kaltura Capture for guidance.)

Configure 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 and proceed with steps 2-4 above.
