Converting Third Party Video Links in Canvas

Recently we migrated content to a new video server.  The existing (old) links in our Canvas courses were not converted.  I am looking for providers who can automate the process of converting the old links (Knowmia) to the current video service provider (Panopto).   

If you have had similar experiences, I  would be interested in learning how you resolved the issue and/or what company you used to automate the conversion.

Thank you.

Hi @bradleyt,

If you're using the paid version of Canvas, i'd suggest reaching our to your CSM about this.  If the old and new links are a predictable format (old: https://oldvideo.com/video/12345  vs new: https://newvideo.com/media/12345/embed  or something like that), I think Instructure can do a global search/replace on their database.  They may charge you to do this, but it's definitely something they can do.
