Video Notes
Create and Post Video Notes
Learn how to record a webcam or audio snippet.
Note: while this tool does enable you to post videos within the D2L Discussions tool, it does not currently enable you to share your screen (unlike other tools like Loom or Screencast-o-matic).
Overview: Video Note allows you to insert video recordings through HTML Editor's Insert Stuff option, and anywhere video attachments are supported (Content, Discussions, Grading, and providing feedback to learners).
The ability to insert, upload, and administer Video Notes is controlled by instructor. For example, if you do not have the Can Upload Video Notes permission, the Add Video Note option does not display when using Insert Stuff to add a Video Note.
Note: If you have permissions to access Video Note Search, you can also search and insert video notes made by you and other users.
