[ARCHIVED] Embed a Sway with new RTE

[sonnebdm]

I am trying to embed a sway (not a link to a sway).  All of the directions I find are for the old RTE and I can't figure out how to do this with the new RTE.  I would like students to open the page and see the content not have to click on more links because most of our students don't have access to computers - only phones for distance learning - so we are trying to limit the amount of clicking they have to do.  Attachments and external links don't work well!

 @sonnebdm  Welcome to the Canvas Community! While I don't have direct experience embedding content from Sway, the New RCE allows instructors to use embed code just as the old RCE does. When you switch the editor to HTML view (How do I use the HTML view in the New Rich Content Editor as an instructor? ),  paste in the embed code from the Sway item, and save, what happens?

(And while I was searching, I found this nice resource just fyi: Turning a Community Item into a Microsoft Sway )

Ok.  I figured this out (I actually did it a different way but this is much easier).

Now, however, the sway shows up find on my computer but on my phone it prompts me to log into office and when I click it says I am logged in but never takes me to the actual sway....  Not sure if this is a microsoft/phone problem?  I would really like to make the sways work because they do run much better than a power point on a Canvas page and on a phone but I don't want students to have to leave canvas to click on a link and find their way back to Canvas for an assignment!

Hi, We seem to be having the same issue when Student's try to access Sway via Canvas. Prompt's the student to login to Office 365, but never reveals the Sway presentation once they have. Can anyone shed any light on this please?
