Having trouble after embedding the PowerPoint presentation onto the Canvas discussion page, Canvas is requesting a Mircosoft 360 login so that the PowerPoint can be viewed.
Hello @EddyPierre - I am assuming you are using the OneDrive LTI integration with Canvas. Here are some possible solutions:
1.Check the file sharing settings:
Make sure you have selected the correct sharing permissions when sharing files in OneDrive. The file should be publicly accessible, or at least accessible to everyone who has the link.
In OneDrive, find the file, click the "Share" button, then select who you wish to share it with. For the most part I select anyone within our institution or we can also choose "Anyone with a link" or "Specific people" . Make sure "Allow viewing" is checked.
2.If the embed code contains a login prompt, try the following steps:
In OneDrive, locate the file, click "Share", and then select "Embed".
In the pop-up window, select "Generate embed code".
Ensure that the "Embed on web page" option is selected and that there are no additional settings that require login.
3.Modify the embed code:
If the direct embed code doesn't work, you can try modifying the embed code to point to the direct URL of the OneDrive share link.
Typically, this involves replacing the URL in the embed code with the actual shared link URL.
4.Use a link instead of an embed:
If there is a problem embedding the file, you can try just adding the link to the file to the course instead of embedding the file directly.
5.Clear Cache and Cookies:
Sometimes browser cache or cookies can cause problems. Try clearing them or changing your browser and try embedding the file again.
Disclaimer: Your browser automatically saves temporary internet files to help pages load faster. Clearing this cache will sometimes fix website issues.
Our college would like to disable the Core Canvas tool "Syllabus" by default, so that it automatically doesn't show on Course Navigation menus. Is that possible? A fellow admin asked our CSM about disabling Syllabus by default, but the CSMs may be understandably busy at the moment. Below I rounded up some past comments…
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
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…
