Using the Video Note Feature
Using the Video Note Feature
The simplest way to make a video or audio post is to use Brightspace's built-in Video Note feature. While this is very quick and convenient, videos recorded this way are limited to 30 minutes in duration and are automatically deleted by the system after 6 months.
When creating a new Thread or replying to someone else's post, select the Insert Stuff button on the Brightspace Editor toolbar. The Insert Stuff pop-up will appear.
Select the Add Video Note option.
When the Video Note pop-up appears, you have two choices:
a) Record a new Video Note right away by clicking the New Recording button.
b) Or, if you already recorded a video on your device using another app, upload it using the Upload File button.
When you are finished recording or uploading your video, select the Next button.
Remember: Video Notes are limited to 30 minutes and are automatically deleted after 6 months! Keep reading for a more permanent option.
