Submit a Video Assignment in Canvas

You can submit Canvas video assignments in several ways.

There are three options for submitting a video assignment

If the Canvas assignment requires a video submission using Panopto, choose one of these options:

  1. Upload a video to the Panopto Assignment folder for your course, from your computer by following these steps: (text) (video). (for mac users, recommend using Chrome)
  2. Or, choose and submit a video previously uploaded to Panopto by following these steps: (text) (video). (for mac users, recommend using Chrome)
  3. Or, record a new video with Panopto. (For instructions on this, see  the section below, "record with Panopto follow these steps".)

Considerations for Recording new videos
