Creating and posting a homework video

[LindseyJYoung]

I have an assignment that calls for me to record and post a video on the student discussion board.  I do not know how to do any of these things.  Back to finish my degree after 25 years!  Help!!!

Hi @LindseyJYoung,

There are actually a variety of ways this can be done, depending on what your school has integrated with Canvas.  The most basic out-of-the-box way would be to follow the  How do I record media using the Rich Content Edito... - Instructure Community - 618235  guide, which shows you how to record media from the textbox area you'll find in discussions (Canvas calls it the Rich Content Editor).  If you don't see the options mentioned in that guide, that likely means your school has purchased a 3rd party video system, and in that case you'd probably need to ask your teacher for more direction because we won't really know what that system is or how your school designed it to work.

I hope this info helps!
