Video upload and size restrictions is an ongoing challenge for us. We have work arounds and lots of support information, though am wondering if anyone has tried and tested external tools that could be integrated into Canvas????
We have a generally positive experience with our Yuja integration
Thanks Chris. Yes, the 500 MB is a constant challenge for our cohort who are required to submit recordings that often that succeed this, compressing the files sometimes works. Sometimes not. This is helpful. We are currently investigating Canvas Studio again, Panopta and EchoVideo. I have not heard of Yuja so this is a great starting point. I really appreciate your suggestions.
Hi @natalie_hamilto,
It sounds like you may be looking for a video management system to integrate with Canvas, as the basic capabilities included in the LMS aren't working for you. There are definitely options for this, including one from Instructure. I know some options include Panopto, Yuja, Mediasite, Canvas Studio, and Kaltura (this is the one my institution uses). I'm sure there are some others which I have not listed here too…. You'll probably want to evaluate the options to see which would solve your tech issues the best and be in your budget.
I hope this info helps get you started.

Thanks Paul. We will look Yuja first. Thanks for this.

Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
