Picture submission using camera

[desrockk]

Can canvas please provide an easy way for my first graders to submit a photo of their work? All we want is for a camera option to appear and students be able to take a photo right there and submit in the web browser application. Video appears why can’t camera be added? It would make submitting assignments so much easier for my first graders and all elementary students.

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

For more information, please read through the Canvas Release Notes (2021-03-20).

In File Upload assignments, students can use their webcam to submit to an assignment. This change allows students to use their webcam to submit a file upload assignment from the browser and aligns behavior with the Canvas Student app.
