About VoiceThread

Teachers can set up VoiceThread for interactive video assignments on Canvas. You can create video presentations for students to watch. Then they can comment, ask questions, answer questions, and interact with each other on the timeline of the video. You can also assign them to create their own VoiceThread as part of an assignment.

There are several steps for using VoiceThread on Canvas, described here:
