Customize your My Media Repository

Once you add your videos to My Media there are a number of tools available to help you organize, manage, and find them.

On This Page

Search My Media

The Search tool on the My Media page works as you would expect and searches your videos by their title, description or any tags you have added to the video. The search functionality is not case sensitive so media with the word “Lecture” in the title returns media with both “Lecture” and “lecture.”

To search for specific media, type the search term in the field next to the magnifying glass, and then press Enter

arrow pointing at Search My Media bar

Filters

With the Filter tool, you can view only the content that is most important to you.

To select a filter, click Filters

My Media filters

In the Filter Selection window, select the filters

My Media filter by type

When you select a filter, My Media will only display content that matches that filter.

Sorting

You can sort your media by:

  • creation date
  • update date
  • alphabetical
  • view
  • plays
  • scheduling

View Options

The View tool lets you switch between Collapsed view, Detailed view, and Table View.

Collapsed view lists just the video title

My Media collapsed view

Detailed view provides a thumbnail, a description, the number of views, how long ago the video was published, and whether or not the video is published

My Media detailed view

Table view displays title, tags, plays, updated date, locations where the media is published and actions that can be taken

My Media table view

The "Published In" column will display the Canvas course ID when the media is published to a Media Gallery or "InContext" when the media is embedded in other content.
