Introduction

This guide explains how to embed media from Canvas Studio into any feature area with the Rich Content Editor, such as Assignments, Discussions, and Pages. In Canvas, users can embed media from Canvas Studio into various areas like Assignments, Discussions, and Pages using the Rich Content Editor and the Studio LTI tool. This tool allows you to select existing media or upload new media. Comments are enabled by default but can be disabled.
