[ARCHIVED] Do you know how to record media (start the webcam) in new quizzes?

[tara_riba]

I am not doing the "play button" option to record media for me or my students in the new quizzes.  The guides keep coming around to using the "new rich content editor" Does anyone know a fix?

Hi,  @tara_riba  Welcome to the Canvas Community! As you've probably already noticed, the text editor in New Quizzes is not the same as the one that is available in other areas throughout Canvas. The New Quizzes text editor allows the author to upload a video recording, but does not currently accommodate recording directly inline. Instructions for using this text editor are in https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-26379-how-do-i-use-the-rich-content-editor-in-new-quizzes 

Also, please add your support to https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/13475-new-quizzes-add-media-recording-to-text-editor which requests enhancement to this functionality.

Hope this helps, Tara. Stay safe, and be well.
