How do I record a conference in a student group?

As part of creating or editing a conference, you can choose to set up your conference to be recorded. Once this setting is enabled, you can start and stop the recording as necessary in the Conferences interface.

After the conference has concluded, you can view recorded segments in the group Conferences page. If you recorded multiple segments in your conference, each segment will be a separate recording.

Recording Restrictions

  • When creating your conference, you must select the record option to record the conference.
  • Canvas' standard recording feature will store your recordings in Conferences for 14 days and then remove them automatically.
  • Recorded conferences cannot be downloaded.
  • Recorded conferences can only be viewed inside the group where the conference was recorded; URLs cannot be shared outside Canvas.

 

Note: Creating a conference is a course permission. If you cannot create a conference, your institution has restricted this feature.
