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.
