To embed Kaltura media in Pages, Discussions, Assignments, Announcements and anywhere else in bCourses that uses the Canvas Rich Content Editor, follow the instructions below. (Note: Kaltura is our recommended platform for sharing video in bCourses to the members of the course site in which the content is embedded. For alternate embedding options appropriate for a course site with a Visibility setting of "Institution" or "Public", see How do I embed video content in bCourses?)

1. With the Rich Content Editor open, do one of the following:


2. From the window that opens up on the page, if the media you want to embed is already in your My Media or the Media Gallery, click on the appropriate tab (My Media or Media Gallery), and then click the Embed button next to the media you want to embed. The media will be embedded on the page. (If there are Playlists in the course site's Media Gallery, and you have a bCourses role of Teacher, TA, Lead TA, or Owner, you can also embed playlists; click the Media Gallery Playlists tab to get a list of playlists that you can embed.)


Shows an image of how to embed from the media gallery, with highlights around the buttons for embedding.

(If the media isn't already in My Media or Media Gallery, you can select Add New and add media to your My Media or Media Gallery using the options provided: Media Upload, Express Capture, YouTube, Kaltura Capture.)


Note: Kaltura Media embedded in a bCourses Announcements is stripped from the version of the Announcement that is sent via email. The recipient can always click through the link in the email to view the full announcement as it was intended to be seen in their browser, but unfortunately, there is no indication that they are not seeing the full message in their email. If you have embedded media in an Announcement that you expect students will view as email (rather than opening the Announcement in bCourses", make sure to state that they should click "view announcement" to view the full message in their web browser.
