Course Link Validator

[joellen_green]

I ran the Validate Links in Content in my Canvas class.  Usually, when a link shows up if I click it it does not exist.  The links that show up are to a video in Screencast-o-matic and exist.  I tried to view the video links in Student View and they appear and run.  Is there something I am not understanding?

It may be that since it is your video, you can see it, but other users cannot see it. There is probably a video setting that you can adjust so everyone can see it.

Hi @joellen_green -

The link validator may also refer to content that is saved in another course that may not be available to students. When looking at the link, verify the course number that's within the URL and see if it matches your home page.
