Media Submission Assignments

Sometimes, you might have to send in a video or audio file for an assignment on Canvas. You can even record a video or audio directly on Canvas to hand in. Or, you can just upload a file you already have saved on your computer.

Record or Upload an Audio or Video File

Select the Submit Assignment button in the top-right corner of the screen.
Be sure the Media Submission tab is selected.
Select Record/Upload Media, then select the Upload or Record tab depending on how you want to submit. (NOTE: View the example above.)
Choose the correct file type: Audio or Video.
Select the file from your computer’s drive and choose open.
When your file has been uploaded, select Submit Assignment.

If this is your first time recording a submission, you'll have to let Canvas use your camera and microphone. Just follow the directions on your device to allow access.

You can also leave a comment for your teacher. You can re-submit assignments until the last day your instructor has set. Once you submit it, you can't undo it.
