22. YouTube:
Since Canvas has a limited amount of space
you can use for uploading videos, you can
upload your work to YouTube as a public,
private, unlisted link (depending on how many
people you want seeing your footage).
YouTube is also a great resource for creating
Closed Captioned videos (CC).

Here is a video on public versus private versus
unlisted settings in YouTube:

23. Vimeo:
Vimeo is an alternative to YouTube. Vimeo is a
video-sharing website in which users can
upload, share and view videos. Vimeo can be
a better option to YouTube if you are not
interested in a large audience for your video.
Here is a list of the Pros and Cons of
YouTube versus Vimeo:

25. Canvas: Record Video in Rich
Content Editors
Canvas allows instructors to record videos and/or audio of themselves wherever
a Rich Content Editor can be found.
Using this option allows you to record video without being limited by the
space quota in a Canvas course. Canvas uses cloud storage for video and
audio made within Canvas, allowing large amounts of media content to be
created within Canvas.
Simply click the Video icon to open up the Media Comment tool.
26. Canvas: Record Video in Rich
Content Editors
Once clicked, follow the
instructions for allowing Adobe
Flash access onto your
computer.
For detailed instructions on
setting up the media player in
Canvas, check out this guide:

record-a-video-using-the-rich-
content-editor
27. Canvas: Embedding
You can embed video from YouTube/Vimeo or
streaming resources from UNCG’s library. You can
also embed content from your UNCG Box
account.
To start, go to any Rich Content Editor in Canvas.
Click on the HTML Editor tab on the right.
29. Canvas: Embedding
With embedded video,
your students can view
content without leaving
Canvas.
If you use a UNCG Library
streaming service, such as
Films on Demand, you will
be able to create clips and
view analytics.

30. Canvas: Uploading Video
There are many compatible multimedia file types, including
• MPEG/AVI
• QuickTime
• Flash/Shockwave
• Microsoft formats
• And more!
The total size of your Canvas file storage is 1000
mb per class. This is not enough to upload many
video files or recorded PowerPoints.****
31. Canvas: Uploading Video
Access a Rich Content Editor wherever you
desire to put the video (Announcements,
Discussions, Pages, Assignments, Syllabus, etc)
Click on the Video icon tool in the
Rich Content Editor menu.
32. Canvas: Uploading Video
Click on the Video icon tool in the Rich Content Editor
menu. Select the Upload Media Tab and Select Video
File. Make sure the video file you are using is
compatible with Canvas.
33. Canvas: Uploading Videos
The status bar will show you the progress of your
video upload. The speed of your upload will
depend on your internet connection and the size
of you video.
34. Canvas: Integrating Large Files with Box
Canvas allows you to upload 1000 MB of files. If you are conducting a course
that includes a lot of video, recorded PowerPoints, audio files, or any other kind
of large files, you will need to use an outside method to store and share your files
with your students.
The good news is that UNCG provides every UNCG student and faculty member
with a Box account with 50 GB of safe, online storage. Box provides you with the
tools you need to easily include links out to or embedding of videos, recorded
PowerPoints, and more within Canvas.

35. Canvas: Video Conferencing
Canvas continues to use Blackboard Collaborate as
the video conferencing tool for UNCG professors.
Blackboard Collaborate enables you to hold classes,
meetings, office hours, or one-on-one consulting
sessions online and allows people to interact in an
engaging way.
Blackboard Collaborate may be used from within
Canvas or outside of Canvas. Classes that already in
Canvas may want to take advantage of the built in
interface to Blackboard Collaborate.
