How to: Use the Record Feature

Many of Schoology's assignments include the ability for your student to verbally record their response. If the teacher has created an assignment that requires verbal response, your student should follow these instructions:

  1. Click the microphone icon in the rich text editor window.

  2. Click:

    1. Audio to record an audio file.

    2. Audio & Video to record a video file. You must have a webcam or camera on your device to record a video file.

  3. When using the recorder for the first time, the browser will display a prompt to allow the microphone or camera. Click Allow to continue using the recorder.

  4. Click Start Recording to begin your recording. Note: The audio recorder does not begin until you click Record, and it detects sounds. It may take significant noise - for example, clapping your hands, or tapping the microphone, for the recording to detect the 'start' sound and begin recording.

  5. Click Stop Recording to end your recording. To preview your recording before posting, click the play button after the recording has ended.

  6. Click Insert Recording to attach your recording to the update
