Transferring videos from LumiNUS Multimedia channels to your Canvas Course, is a two-step process:

  1. Transfer videos and audio files from LumiNUS Multimedia to LumiNUS Multimedia (MediaWeb).

    1. This migration request will be done by the Video Migration team.
    2. It will take at least three working days.
    3. You will be notified by email once the migration is complete.
  2. Copy videos from LumiNUS Multimedia (MediaWeb) to Canvas Videos/Panopto.


If your videos are already in LumiNUS Multimedia (MediaWeb), you can go to step 2 to copy them to Canvas Videos/Panopto.
