This is the error when submitting a video recorded in Canvas for an assignment (screenshot included). The video was 2 mins long. I then attempted to record a 30 sec video with the same result. I attempted to upload a video recorded separately on another device and received the same error when attempting to upload. My Chrome browser is version 128 which is listed as approved on your site. The recorded video was 245mg which is well within the file size limit for upload and well within the file size limitations for the class (obviously I have been reading through the other troubleshooting posts you see). There is no network error on my end as I was able to airdrop this same video between devices on this network and upload it to an email for my instructor when your software failed me. Please do not respond with a suggestion to create a YouTube channel to upload my videos from which I saw suggested in another troubleshooting post, that's just insulting.
Hi Ashley,
I know how frustrating it can be when your video won’t upload, especially after trying multiple times. This kind of error usually happens because of browser or file issues, even when the file size and format look fine. Here are a few things that often help:
Clear your browser’s cache and cookies.
Try a private/incognito window or a different browser.
Make sure your internet connection is stable.
Ask your instructor to check if the course storage is nearly full.
Upload the video through “My Media” first, then embed it in the assignment.
If it still doesn’t work, reach out to Canvas Support with your browser version, file details, and a screenshot—they can check things on their end. - How do I get help with Canvas?
These steps usually solve the problem, and I hope one of them works for you so you can submit your video successfully!

Hi everyone, I am new to the role and trying to set the new term in Canvas for Year 12 graduating in 2027. With the Sentral sync, the Year 12 courses are created automatically with change of class name, however in Canvas the new course has the old term and SIS ID. So , instead of Y12_2027 it is still Y12_2026. I have tried…
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
