Please note: captions are required for accessibility reasons
Please Note: You can upload your video to your Studio library using the Canvas Student mobile app but you currently cannot embed videos into discussion posts using the mobile app. You must log into the student portal using your device's web browser and access Canvas by clicking on the My Classes link. If you are still unable to embed the video into your discussion post you must use a web browser on a computer to do so instead.
