If your instructor has set up a media submission assignment by using a Canvas Text Entry Assignment, it is advised you upload your audio and video files via Kaltura in Canvas to avoid hitting data caps with your Canvas account. You can also record media directly in Kaltura.
Important Notice
Submission cannot be made via Kaltura in the Canvas Student app. While this process can be completed via an internet on a mobile device, it is recommended you use a desktop/laptop to make submissions via Kaltura.
