Can External Non-U-M Guests view MiVideo Media in Canvas?

Environment

Canvas
MiVideo

Issue

If an instructor adds an external non-UM guest student to their Canvas course will the student be able to view MiVideo content published in the course?

Resolution

Yes, because Canvas authenticates that user with MiVideo. The student may have to access Media Gallery once initially (click the link in the left course navigation) to authenticate with MiVideo before they are able to view any embedded media.
