Canvas has recently implemented the ability for institutions to add certain external tools to the Rich Content Editor (RCE) toolbar. Due to its widespread use, the “Embed Kaltura Media” button is now available directly on the Canvas RCE toolbar as shown below. Previously, users had to click the “plug” icon to get to this functionality.
