Delivering Video through Canvas

OneDrive Method

Follow these steps from within Canvas to link to a video (e.g., Zoom Recording) located in your OneDrive space. This video embedding method is best for longer, larger videos since the Canvas files space is limited.

  Note: If you get an UPLOAD FAILED notice during Step 5 of How to link to a video stored in OneDrive, try downloading the video and then reuploading it into OneDrive. This process has been known to help.

File Size Limits
If you have Instructor status, video files up to 3GB will successfully embed using this method. Those with Student status are limited to video files of 500MB or less. Embedding does not impact your Canvas course file quota.

Alternative Methods

• How do I record media using the Canvas Rich Content Editor as an instructor? -or- . . . as a student?
  You can use the Rich Content Editor to record short videos directly in Canvas. If your media is longer than 15 minutes, please use an external provider instead. Do not upload large videos directly to Canvas.
  
  
• How to use Microsoft Stream to store video?
  Students and employees at UI are given access to Microsoft Stream. MS Stream is a video-sharing service that instructors may use to offer lectures and other video content for their students by linking to their MS Stream video from within Canvas.
  
  
• How do I share Video directly from OneDrive with students without building links to each video individually within Canvas?
  Make a folder in OneDrive, put your videos there, then give each student "read permission" to that folder. This allows you to build just one link from Canvas to your OneDrive Folder. Students will see a list of all the videos available and can watch the video they need by selecting it.
