on Apr 13, 2017As a media owner, you can create a public link and an embed code to be used for showing media in public websites. You can also disable the public link and embed code in order to remove access to the media file. Additionally, media that is linked or embedded publicly do not include comments or track viewer data.
This lesson shows you how to get a link or embed code directly from the My Uploads page. However, when you own a media file or a user has shared a media file with you, the link and code are also available when viewing media.
Notes:
- Viewing public links and embed codes is an account permission. If you are not able to view the Links tab, your institution has restricted this feature to all users except Arc admins.
- If you want to include comments when embedding media, you need to embed through the Arc LTI tool. Learn how to embed media in Canvas.
