How do I add a video comment to an assignment submission in the Teacher app on my iOS device?

You can leave video comments on student assignment submissions. Comments can be added before or after grading a submission.

You can also add text comments or audio comments.

The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
