Canvas: Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Canvas integration work?

There are many ways to use video within Canvas LMS. We found that the best way to communicate is through video.

The Canvas LMS integration uses our LTI app. Admins add the app for their Canvas implementations, and then instructors can add video to any of their courses that they choose, with or without a paid plan. Free users have access to fewer features, but they can still create and publish videos for their classes.

You can record your screen or webcam with Screencast-O-Matic then easily share your videos with your students. You can also have your students communicate with video. They don’t need a login to create videos. Students can launch the free screen recorder.
Can I embed video in Canvas?

Wondering how to embed a video in Canvas LMS?

First, upload your video to your Screencast-O-Matic account.

Next, go to the rich text editor area that you would like to add your video to, and click the Screencast-O-Matic icon. This will open the LTI app, and display all of the videos from your hosting account.

Simply select the video that you want to embed, then you can customize the embed by selecting the size of your video, and selecting any other options. When done customizing, click the Embed button. That’s it!

For more on hosting options, please view our tutorials about Content Hosting.

You can also view our hosting features in Video and Content Hosting.
How do you make a video in Canvas?

With the Canvas LMS integration, you can create a video by launching the recorder or video editor from the LTI app. This will launch the version of the editor (Free, Deluxe, or Premier) that you have on your computer. Now record your video.

When you’re done recording and editing, publish your video to your Screencast-O-Matic hosting account. Once it’s uploaded, you’ll be able to find and embed the video using the LTI app as described in the previous FAQ answer.
