How can I use content from Media Gallery?
Media Gallery, powered by Kaltura, is a media repository for a Canvas course. A participant in a course can upload a video, audio file, or image to Media Gallery, which publishes the file in the gallery at the same time as uploading it to their own My Media space.
Video, audio, and images in Media Gallery can be shared and embedded throughout UVACanvas and the web. Below is a list of the various ways you can use content uploaded to either Media Gallery or My Media.
Publish media for course participants.
If the Media Gallery tool is enabled in the Course Navigation Menu, you can publish media in the Media Gallery tool by following the steps in one of the articles below.
Note: To access the Media Gallery tool in a McIntire School of Commerce course site, select McIntire Kaltura from the Course Navigation Menu instead of Media Gallery.

Share content publicly.
In the Media Gallery of a Canvas site you own, you can enable the Embed Grab option to generate public embed codes. This will allow you copy a video or audio file's embed code for use in websites outside of Canvas (for example, a departmental website or a Catalog listing in UVACanvas Connect). To enable public embed codes for files published in a Media Gallery, follow the steps in How do I copy embed code for public display on the web? (opens new window).
