Videos disabled in Growing with Canvas

[GeorgeJett]

I just got an invitation, as a new instructor, for Growing with Canvas. But when I try to dig into the tutorials all the videos don't work and have the message "Sorry, because of privacy settings this video cannot be played here." I tried it more than one browser. 

Thanks,

@GeorgeJett ...

I wonder if those videos in question were from when they were hosted on the Vimeo website?  If those are official Canvas tutorial videos, they moved those a while back to the Canvas Studio server instead.  The links to embedded Vimeo videos no longer work.  So, for example, if you had been wanting to watch a video on Canvas Modules, you could now go here:

Modules Overview (Instructors) - Instructure Community - 384423 (canvaslms.com)

You can harvest the embed code by clicking on the "Embed this Video" button, and then you would paste that embed code into the HTML editor for your content page in the "Growing with Canvas" course (if you had editing rights).

If you don't have editing rights to that course, let your school's Canvas admin know, and they should be able to take care of this for you.

Good luck, and I hope this helps!

Thanks Chris, that was very helpful.
