Embedding Videos in Canvas Quiz When Using Respondus

Use the steps below to create video questions in a Canvas quiz that function while using Respondus LockDown Browser. To ensure students can only view the video while taking the quiz, Share settings and the location of the video are critical. Please follow both steps and reach out to the Academic Technology Team for support if needed.

 

1. Enable the correct Share Settings: 

  1. Access Panopto directly and locate the video you want to embed.

  2. Click the Share button that becomes available when you hover over the video.

  3. Click the Change button under “Who can access this video”  and select Public (unlisted). This will allow anyone who has the link to view the video, but will not make the video searchable in databases.
