Please note, that when you select a video, the sharing permissions on that video will automatically update to 'Anyone With the Link' no matter what the previous sharing permissions were. This ensures that no one will need to sign in via email to access/view the video. This also means that viewers will be captured as 'Anonymous' on these videos in analytics.

Some things to note:
- If your video contains Interactive Questions, those questions will NOT be brought over to Canvas. To share a video that contains Interactive Questions, please share them via the Watch Page link.
- If you have selected video that is deleted in Google Drive, you will see: “The video you selected is no longer available because it was deleted from Drive. It will be removed from your My Videos shortly.” If this video has been deleted from Drive, it will no longer be available on your My Videos page to share and you will need to select a new video.
