I am an instructor new to Canvas. My student has tried to upload his video reply and he gets "error, unable to upload." How can we fix this?
Hi @RichardVorak,
Do you know how exactly the student is uploading a video? Theer are actually a lot of different ways to do this in Canvas and a lot of 3rd party video tool options as well, and we don't have a way to know what's available in your specific Canvas. If you could provide more info or even screenshots of what the student is doing, that would be really helpful.
Without any additional info, my initial guess is that the student is uploading the video to their "user files" area, and that they do not have enough available space there for the video. Assignments/Quizzes don't really count towards file space limits, but discussions are much more of a gray area, depending on whether not they are graded, and again exactly how something is being uploaded.
We look forward to hearing back from you!

Sorry, County. If you want…
Another classic for the…"Canvas Is The Most Intentionally Passive-Aggressive Piece of Software Ever Written / Nobody Does Weaponized Incompetence Better Than Canvas" I give you… You click on Assignments that "Need Grading" and it takes you to the assignmen…but then forces you to sort for the assignments that need…
I recently discovered an error in a quiz question for an exam my students have already taken. I want to regrade that question so that anyone who had that question in their Quiz would get a point regardless of their answer since it was not possible to answer it given the choices. Unfortunately, as best I can tell, because…
I assigned the first draft of an assignment. Each student got rubric comments from me and from one peer. The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
