    Notes

    1. If you do not see the Kaltura button in the Rich Content Editor toolbar, you may need to click the More Options (ellipsis) button in the top right corner to view additional tools and/or access it through the Apps (plug) icon instead. 
       
    2. If you have never used the Kaltura App within Canvas before, you will need to authorize it first (a message will pop up).
       
  4. You will see a gallery of your Kaltura videos.  Search for the video you want to embed, and then click the Embed button next to the desired video.
