Students Submit Work With Camera

For File Upload assignments, students have the option to use their webcam for file uploads. The first time they use the feature, they will need to give permission to Canvas to access their computer webcam. Like all other graded submission types, images submitted via the webcam functionality do not count against course or user quota. Instructors can view uploaded images submitted via a student’s webcam as they see other file uploads in SpeedGrader and anywhere that submissions are available.

To allow this to happen from the Instructor side:

  • Create an assignment

  • Choose online submission (for submission type)

  • Tick the box for 'file uploads'
