How do I embed a webcam video in a Canvas text box?

The Upload/Record Media tool in the Rich Content Editor does not support captions for accessibility. If possible, we recommend using My Media/Media Gallery to record and upload video, which will be automatically captioned in accordance with the Tufts captioning policy.

Instructors, TAs and Designers can embed a webcam video in any Canvas text box.

Goto the Canvas text box and click on the Record/Upload Media icon (looks like a go button), and select Upload Record Media
