Overview

There are multiple ways to submit a video to a Canvas Assignment depending on the instructor's instructions and guidance. This guide will provide instructions on submitting a video to a Canvas Assignment based on the submission type created within the assignment. If you are not finding the correct buttons within the Canvas Assignment, please talk with your instructor.

Ways to Submit 

The instructions will start with the submission type so it is assumed the video is already created and uploaded to your My Media account. If you need support with the uploading process, please see the directions on uploading a video to My Media before proceeding.
