Hello @VernonShelton,
If you are receiving the error message that is described at https://support.respondus.com/hc/en-us/articles/16543704243483-Exam-title-indicates-a-webcam-must-be-used-but-the-course-is-unknown-to-our-servers, you need to tell your instructor that they need to go into the Canvas course and click on the (it is not visible to students but it is visible to instructors) "LockDown Browser" link that appears on the left-side course navigation area.
If the problem continues, reach out to your school's Help Desk, IT Department, or Canvas support team for help.

Hi everyone, Is there anyway I can download all discussion posts, similar to downloading assignments? Thank you. Zehra
Could there be a feature added (or maybe there is something out there already) to limit not just the file EXTENSION but the file NAME as well?

Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
