Please add Kaltura integration to the RCE in Canvas Student and Canvas Teacher mobile apps.  Currently, when using the Canvas Student or Canvas Teacher mobile apps, there is no Kaltura integration built into the RCE toolbar.  As you know, using a desktop browser, students and teachers can use the Kaltura integration to embed videos from their Kaltura My Media library.  While there are work arounds, such as obtaining a URL from their video, ensuring it has unlisted public permissions, and posting that URL to the assignment, or after mobile capture then going to a desktop browser to embed the video in the assignment, etc, those solutions are less than ideal in that they require unnecessary exposure of content or the use of mobile and desktop solutions combined.  Many of our students find themselves needing to record to Kaltura using the KMS Go app rather than using a desktop config with a webcam they may or may not have, so being able to complete the task using the mobile app by embedding the video to their assignments in the same way they would if they were using a desktop browser would provide a much cleaner and more consistent solution, thereby improving the student experience.  Please consider the addition of Kaltura integration in the mobile apps to further improve the student experience and provide increased flexibility for completing assignments.  Thank you.

Thanks for bringing this up, @ccasey1 - We just realized that the RCE on desktop (and in mobile browser) does not have the same feature set as in the app. That's deeply problematic for us.
