Uploading a video to Canvas from your iPhone is a straightforward process using the official Canvas mobile app, particularly when adding it to a course's Media Gallery.
To upload a video from your iPhone to the Media Gallery in a Canvas course, follow these steps within the Canvas App:
- Go to the Canvas App. Open the Canvas Student or Canvas Teacher app on your iPhone.
- From your mobile Dashboard, select a Canvas course site. Tap on the specific course where you want to upload the video.
- Click Media Gallery. Navigate to the Media Gallery section within the course.
- Click "plus" Icon. Look for a "+" or upload icon, typically found at the top or bottom of the screen, and tap it to begin the upload process.
- Upload from My Media to Media Gallery. If your video is already in your personal My Media library (associated with Kaltura, often integrated with Canvas), you can select it from there.
- Upload from Device to Media Gallery. To upload a video directly from your iPhone's photo library, choose this option.
- Select Choose a file to upload. This will open your iPhone's file picker, allowing you to browse and select the video file you wish to upload.
- Note: The exact interface might vary slightly between the Canvas Student and Canvas Teacher apps, or depending on your institution's Canvas configuration, but the general process remains similar. This method is based on the process described in the Tufts EdTech guide for uploading videos to the Media Gallery from a mobile device.
Following these steps will allow you to successfully upload your video from your iPhone into the designated Media Gallery of your Canvas course.
