Publish media in Canvas

About

When you upload media, it’s private by default and accessible only through My Media. From there, you can either grab the embed code for private media or choose to publish it, making it public in your Media Gallery.

Publishing media allows it to be publicly accessible to users. You can publish media:

• in any Media Galleries you are allowed to publish to.
• only after file conversion is complete and the media has passed moderation (if required).
