I would like to upload a powerpoint presentation to Canvas free for teacher for my students to view it as a slideshow on the LMS but not be able to download it.
Can someone please help me with this?
Hi @StewartHollands,
I'll say that, unfortunately, what you're looking to do isn't really possible within Canvas itself. You can choose to make the file only visible to students with a link, and then embed it on a page in Canvas, but it would still be downloadable by students. There may be some third-party websites which could turn the PowerPoint into more of a web format to embed in Canvas without download, but I don't personally know of any specific one to recommend to try. On the web in general, I'd say you'll almost need to expect people will be able to download things, aside from some very specific use cases like streaming commercial video sites (Netflix, etc).
Sorry that this probably isn't the answer you wanted to hear, but hopefully the info helps a bit.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
