[ARCHIVED] I cannot access the Rich Content Editor.

[jdarley]

For being my first time, the video tutorial tells me what can be done in RCE, but not HOW or WHERE to access it.  I am totally lost.I am trying to record and upload an introductory video for my course.  Rather frustrating.

Hi  @jdarley  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

Are you a teacher of a student?  From re-reading your question, I am thinking you are a student. Are you being asked to upload your introductory video to a discussion? if so, you will see the RCE as soon as you hit "Reply". These guides will help....

• How do I record a video using the Rich Content Editor as a student? 
• How do I upload a video using the Rich Content Editor as a student? 

Just on the off-chance you are a teacher, there really is not difference in the process; except that as a teacher, you have access to more RCE's than your student, Click "Edit" in a page, Quiz Instructions, Quiz question items, Discussion instructions and discussion replies, Assignment instructions etc.  I would check out the Rich Content Editor Chapter in the Canvas Instructor Guide.

But just as an example........................

Discussion before clicking on  Reply....

Discussion after clicking on Reply..................

I hope this is helpful,

Kelley
