[ARCHIVED] Video Recording in Canvas

[jxp5721]

How do you do a video recording on canvas itself? I was told there is a 'recording icon' on Canvas.

Hi jxp5721and welcome to the Community!  There are a number of ways to record video in Canvas depending on what you are trying to accomplish and whether you are looking at this from an instructor or student perspective.  Here are a few documents that may be helpful, but if you are investigating a particular use or are using a mobile device, let us know and we can try and track down more information.  In addition to recording directly in Canvas, you can also link to media hosted in other platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, TED, etc.) and several media recording/hosting services plug in to Canvas if you have access to these (Canvas Studio, Panopto, Kaltura, etc.).

Thank you Eric! I am just having trouble actually finding the Rich Content Editor. This is our assignment but we don't have submit option. Please help.

Thank You,

Jay

Hi jxp5721.  Thanks for the image.  You should have an option on the assignment page that says "submit assignment", as shown in this document, How do I submit a media file as an assignment submission?.  If you don't see this you might try in another browser, but it could that there is an issue with how the assignment itself is set up.  If you don't see the submit option in another browser (such as Firefox or Chrome), you might contact Canvas Support (see How do I get help with Canvas as a student?).  Support folks can look at the assignment setup and ensure that there is nothing there that needs to be changed before the assignment can be submitted.  If the assignment settings themselves are fine, then Support could also help problem solve your issue.

I hope this helps!
