how to insert video in a canvas quiz question

Is the video external (YouTube) or internal (you have the file)?   If your video is one that you made and you have added it to the course files then use the green arrows (reload/upload content).  If it is external the use the red arrows media icon

This method only works on the Classic Quizzes.  Is there a method to do this with New Quizzes?  Specifically to include files that are already in the Files section of the course?  I don't want to have to download a few GB of files just to re-upload them into quizzes.

Hi @jbagley ...

The Guides for New Quizzes can be found at:

However, I am not sure if you can access any files stored in your course "Files" from inside of New Quizzes.  The reason I say this is because I think New Quizzes is a LTI external tool rather than something built right into the Canvas interface (like Classic Quizzes is).  So, accessing your already uploaded files may not be possible.  (I'd be happy to be wrong about this, though.)
