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!

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. 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…
