As an admin, you can disable Canvas media uploads in the Rich Content Editor. This option allows institutions to remove the native Canvas media icon in the toolbar in favor of using external apps for media hosting.
Note: Disabling Canvas media only applies to accounts and courses that have enabled the Rich Content Editor.
In Global Navigation, click the Admin link [1], then click the name of the account [2].
In Account Navigation, click the Settings link.
In the Settings tab [1], click the Disable uploads to Canvas Media from the enhanced rich content editor checkbox [2].
Click the Update Settings button.
When Canvas media uploads are disabled, users cannot access the Insert Media tool from the toolbar or menubar in the Rich Content Editor [1].
If the option to Disable Canvas media uploads is not selected, users can access the Insert Media tool from the toolbar or menubar in the Rich Content Editor [2].
