Does embedding a video use as much storage as uploading a video? Is it always best to just post a link --- in terms of Canvas storage limits?

Hey Beth,

Embedding a video takes no space in Canvas. Uploading a video does. If you're worried about storage,  I would recommend embedding. Also, if you use iframe embeds, your students can watch the video right in Canvas without even leaving the page, but it still won't take up space.
