HI @GGeye,

I would honestly suggest that you ask your college's Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) about this.  As @SusanNiemeyer mentioned, space is going to become a concern if you just put the videos in the Canvas files area, as will accessibility/captions and playback experience for all of your students.  Putting a small one-off video in files might be okay, but I'd never recommend putting a semesters worth of lecture videos there.  I would hope that your college thought about this and have a preferred migration path to a different service.  Perhaps it's YouTube, but I know many faculty are uncomfortable putting videos there as they cannot be locked down to just your students viewing them.

Hope this helps, even though I know it's redirecting the question a bit.
