When i look at Canvas all my images are viewable. However when I use view as student or they try and view the pictures show up as files only.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Make sure all your pictures are in your Canvas files for that course and then when you insert images, do so from your class Canvas files. Don't just copy and paste them in from your computer or elsewhere. They need to be linked to the files.
Hope this helps,

I also had this problem. I typically take screenshots on my computer and then use "Image-->Upload Image" to a png. image in the quiz. This hasn't had problems for me before but now some of my courses are over a year old and images are not working anymore. It shows the png. file name but not the actual image. I tried changing the settings in the files so they could be viewed by all students but it doesn't let me save that setting. The only solution I've found is reuploading all the files again. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
