Student Video Discussions

[wwallace]

I am looking for an easy way for students to upload and post a video they created and then comment on others posts. Simply, students are recording their screen and voice while they go through a Google Slides presentation they created. I want them to post their video in Canvas and then be able to see others posts from their class. Then I want them to comment on others videos.

Hello  @wwallace  and welcome to the Canvas Community! Thank you for your inquiry on video discussions. I did some research on the subject and came across a few how-to guide docs and previous discussions posts:

How do I record a video using the Rich Content Editor as a student? 

How do I upload a video using the Rich Content Editor as a student? 

Are there any issues with students recording videos into discussion boards

Hope you find these resources helpful. Thanks!

I have now recorded 3 video's for an assignment due tonight and none will freaking save.  So damn frustrating.

I had students with the same issue. We couldn't find a work around and ended up using a third-party to create the video (like screencastomatic) and then share the URL
