Embedding eVideos from Kanopy, Jove, or Alexander Street into Canvas: Home

Guide explaining how to embed a video from Kanopy, Alexander Street, or Jove.

About this page

This is a guide to embed a video from streaming services UD libraries has access to, Kanopy, Alexander Street, or Jove into your Canvas course.

 

This guide has two parts:
1. Finding the embed code on the various streaming services the library has access to.
2. Inserting the embed code into Canvas on a page or assignment.

 

Finding the Embed Code

Finding the embed Code in Jove

Using DELCAT permalinks for Alexander Street Press

 

Kanopy

Under the video player look for the Share button.

After clicking the Share button you will see two tabbed options, by default it starts on Share. Click on Embed

The code in the box will be what you need to paste into Canvas to embed the video.

Jove

Under the video player there is an EMBED button.
If your Jove video has a chapter menu, the embed button is in a different location to the left bottom part of the screen.

After clicking the embed button in either of the above Jove media player views, the same window with the embed code below will appear.

The next window will give you the option to select the code to copy or you can click the "Copy Embed Code" button to add the code to your computer's clipboard.

DELCAT Permalinks for Alexander Street Press

 

Although Alexander Street Press provides embed links, these do not work consistently with the Library's authentication system.  For this reason, we recommend using a DELCAT permalink to link to streaming media content found within Alexander Street Press databases such as Academic Video Online (AVON) to ensure seamless access.  These links can be found within the streaming title's DELCAT record:

Clicking the permalink icon will generate the permalink, which you can copy by clicking on the blue button that appears.

Streaming content can be viewed in DELCAT by clicking on the link or links that appear under 'View Online' (if there are more than one link, they should both lead to the same content):

Embedding a video in Canvas

You can add an embedded video either into a page, discussion, or assignment. When you are in edit mode look for the embed video link that is in the red box in the image below.
