How do I embed an image from OneDrive?

Canvas has a limited amount of storage for each user but you can use other hosting services such as OneDrive to host the file and then embed the image within Canvas. 

1. Upload your image(s) to your OneDrive account or locate the image online you want to use.

You can access your OneDrive account through the OneDrive login by using your student email address. 

2. Open the full-size image that you want to embed by clicking on its thumbnail on your OneDrive page.

You'll want to open the full-size image first so you embed it at its highest quality instead of embedding the lower-resolution thumbnail.

3. Click View Original on the toolbar at the top of the screen, then Copy the URL address in the new tab that opens with the picture in it. 

4. Go to the page in Canvas where you want to embed the image. Click the spot in the text editor where you would like to place this image.

This requires a page with the rich text editor (the one with the formatting tools above it). Most text fields on Canvas use the rich text editor.

5. Click the Images icon, switch to the URL tab, and paste the image URL in the box that pops up.

Use the Attributes section to add alt text to the embedded image.

6. Click Submit at the bottom of this box to embed the image.
