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.

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
