Setting permissions to view Stream (Sharepoint) recordings embedded in Canvas

The default permissions on Stream (SharePoint) recordings do not allow them to be viewed when embedded in Canvas pages. You will need to change the permissions to be viewable to students from inside the Canvas site.

  1. Login to Stream (on SharePoint) at https://www.microsoft365.com/launch/stream.
  2. Locate the video you want to embed and click the title of the video to open it.
  3. Change the permissions to be viewable to students from inside the Canvas site. To do this, click the Share button on the top, right portion of the video’s page and select Manage access from the popup menu.
