Individual presentation
For individual presentations there are two possible scenarios:
1. recording a presentation:
For students recording a presentation, there are multiple options:
- Students record their presentation with their mobilephone/webcam or
- Students record their presentation using powerpoint (Record narration and timings)
- Select Slide Show > Record Slide Show:
- Choose from two options: Start Recording from Beginning - to record from the beginning of a presentation.
- Select or clear what you'd like for your recording, and then select Start Recording.
- Start speaking or add markings to your presentation.
- Save the video as an MP4.
If you create an assignment in Canvas, the student can upload their presentation there. For uploading in Canvas there are 2 options:
Option 1: Record or upload a media fragment that can be played directly in Canvas
The file size limit is 500MB. To enable this, select submission type ‘Media recording’ in the assignment options. It is advised to limit this to short clips of audio/video (up to 15 minutes). In Chrome or Firefox no plugins are necessary. In Safari Flash is required.

Option 2: Submit the video as a regular file upload.
The file size limit is 5 GB (when using the Canvas Student app, the limit is 500MB). The file can’t be played within Canvas, you have to download the file to see the video. To enable this, select submission type ‘File upload’ in the assignment options.
2. live presentation:
Student can do a live presentation through one of the supported systems:
