How can a student submit a audio recording or video

 @martyortega ‌,

Hello! This is one of my favorite features in Canvas. I provided you with some information below that should help you and your students. The media recordings feature is something that must be enabled as a submission option when you create the assignment. The great part about this option is that students can directly record audio and/or video in Canvas. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

How do I submit a media file as an assignment submission?‌ (Helpful for Students)

All the best!

Hello!

Our students are getting an error message when trying to submit audio recordings in Canvas. 

The error message reads:

"Submission Failed

Invalid parameter for submission_type

media_recording. Required:

submission[media_comment_id], 

submission[media_comment_type]"

What are the steps we need to take to fix this? Is there something we missed when setting up the assignment? 

Thank you!
