Inserting a Screen recording Video into discussion board

[RyanHolloway]

I am trying to Insert a video that is 12 minutes long and I am having struggles to turn it in into my Discussion Board. Is there a Maximum time length?

Since you posted your question in the Canvas Studio group, I am assuming that you are wanting to use Studio for your video?  If not, are you trying to upload your video using the RCE (Rich Content Editor) within Canvas?  I don't think there are any real limitations if you are using Studio.  And, according to this Guide (see the light blue area at the top), if your video is longer than 15 minutes, you might want to consider using other sources to host your video...such as if you have a YouTube account: How do I record media using the Rich Content Edito... - Instructure Community - 618235.

Hope to hear back from you soon with additional information about your request.  Take care!

I did a Screen recording off of my Mac Book laptop that was provided from my school and did a screen recording. Will that effect anything or will I still be able to put it into the discussion board for my speech class.

Hi @RyanHolloway ...

I would assume you'd be able to put a screen recording into your Discussion topic for your course, but since almost none of us here in the Community have access to your school's Canvas environment or your course(s), it's hard to say for sure.  If you are just using the RCE (Rich Content Editor) for your video, there are these Guides you can follow:

• How do I embed media files from Canvas into the Ri... - Instructure Community - 618242

If your school has purchased Canvas Studio (you would see a "Studio" button on the far left-hand global navigation menu of Canvas), then take a look at this option, too:

I hope this will help a bit.  I'd suggest reaching out to your instructor directly so you know exactly what is expected of you for this discussion topic assignment.  Good luck!

Thank you for the help but when I just did it its said that there was a error with the uploading of the Video.

Hi there, @RyanHolloway ...

Need some more details from you.  Can you please describe the process you are currently taking to try and add your screen recording to the discussion topic?  If you could outline your steps, I think that would be helpful to me and others who might be reading/following this thread.  Thanks!
