You can use the Rich Content Editor to record video and audio media. You can record media for any length of time, but shorter media recordings are recommended. If your media is longer than 15 minutes, you may want to consider recording and uploading using an external provider. Longer media recordings require more time to render and may be interrupted without a stable internet connection.
Several features in Canvas support the Rich Content Editor, including Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Quizzes, and Syllabus.
Notes:
- The Safari browser does not support recording media. Please use Chrome or Firefox to record media from the Rich Content Editor.
- Media recorded in the Rich Content Editor is saved in the Uploaded Media folder in your Course Files or Group Files.
- By default, recorded media files added to the Rich Content Editor are visible to students within the announcement, assignment, discussion, page, quiz, or syllabus. However, if recorded file's restriction settings were changed to unpublished or are outside of the file's visibility dates, student will not be able to view the file. View file restriction settings.
