Upload and Insert media in Canvas

To insert a file from your course Media Library, go to the desired area within Canvas (e.g. create an announcement, discussion post, or assignment).

Within the text editor, click the Warpwire icon Warpwire icon  (Fig. 1). This will allow you to choose and insert content directly into the editor. Pasting the Embed or Script HTML code into a rich text editor may not work.
