Easily add a video response to a quiz or discussion. (Note: this technique works with uploading any webcam recording you want to embed within any Rich Content Editor field in Canvas, such as Pages or Assignments).

1:  Start with clicking on the Apps icon () that adds media to a response and choose Embed Kaltura Media from the list. (Note: if you do not see the Apps icon, click on "More" ⠇)


The first time you use this, you will need to click on “View All.” This will give you a list to select from. Choose Embed Kaltura Media.


2: Click on "Add New."


3: You will get this list of choices. Choose Express Capture.


4: The recording interface pops up. Click the big red button to record.


5: Then you get a screen that lets you re-record, download, and save a copy to your computer, or use the video you just recorded. Click on “Use This.”


6: The video will upload, and you will get this screen. Click on “Save and Embed.”


7: The video will need to process a little while, but you do not need to wait for it to show your video.


8: Whether you see the “Media is being processed” screen or an image of your video, you are free to finish your quiz or discussion board as you normally would.


Troubleshooting

Did you record something that didn’t load, or do you want to use a recording that you created previously?

Occasionally, the Kaltura video fails to load, or you might have accidentally clicked backspaced too much, and the video is now gone.

If that happens, you could record the video again, or you could open “My Media.” If your instructor has added it to the menu, you can find “My Media” in the left-hand navigation menu in Canvas. If you open it, you should see your recently created videos or search to find the one you want. When you find the one you want to use:
  1. Click on the video that you want.
  2. Click “Share.”
  3. Copy the embed code.
  4. Back on the Canvas quiz/discussion where you want to embed the video, click on the “Embed” icon (Image Placeholder).
  5. Paste the embed code in the textbox.
  6. Click “Submit.”
  7. The video should now be available where you wanted to put it.
