It can be difficult to know where a video is published – whether it comes from KI Play, My Media/Media Gallery in Canvas, directly from Files in your Canvas course or from Canvas Studio. On this page you will see examples of films from different sources with an explanation of how to identify the source.

Identify the source of your video

By looking at the player used for your embedded video and seeing where a few of the functions are located you will be able to see where the video is originally located. You can also see the source in the html code.
