On my teachers discussion board we need to watch videos but they all say I need to sign in to watch video. If I click sign in it leads me to a new tab that says "HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long."
Hi @CaitlinMerendo ...
It looks like the instructor for this course is using a third-party video service called Panopto which integrates with Canvas. Unfortunately, I am not sure of an answer for you...though there may be other folks here in the Community that use Panopto that might be able to provide some help.

We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
