Canvas - How do I submit a video to an assignment?
In Canvas, you can link videos from external tools, add an URL link, embed the video, or upload a media file to an assignment (based on how your instructor has set up to submit). These instructions can also be used for adding a video to pages or any other place with the Rich Content Editor.
