Recording or Uploading Audio and Video In Brightspace

A Video or Audio Note can be recorded, embedded, and attached to an Assignment or Discussion in Brightspace through your browser.

You may also attach or embed a video that you have recorded outside of Brightspace using the Video Note feature.

There may be file size limitations. If you are not able to attach a video file because it is too large, you can try zipping the file and

attaching that, or sharing a link to the file if it is hosted elsewhere (e.g., Google drive, Youtube).

Please note that you must attach at least one file to be able to submit your assessment. This file can be your video, a document of

references, a document that contains the URL to your video, or something else agreed upon by your SME.

Steps for Recording and Attaching Audio or Video in an Assignment

1. Click into the assessment submission item via the Learning Resources > Assessment module. You may also access the assessment submission item via the Assessment Submission link in the navbar. The button options will be slightly different in each place.

2. From the Record drop-down, choose Record Audio or Record Video. (If you are in the Assessment Submission area instead of Learning Resources, you will choose the Record Video button—there will not be a dropdown.) This guide will follow steps for recording video, but audio can be recorded and attached in the same way.
