Attaching an Audio/Video Recording

Instructors in Enterprise accounts may record an audio or video file to attach to their materials.

Notes:
  • If your organization is using the HTML5 Audio/Video Recorder instead of the Flash recorder, click here.
  • To learn more about audio/video recording in assessment questions, click here.

To record an audio or video file:

  1. Click the Microphone icon, and then select:
    • Audio to record an audio file.
    • Audio/Video to record a video file. You must have a webcam to record a video file.
Note: The audio recorder does not begin until you click Record, and it detects sounds. Sometimes it takes a loud noise - for example, clapping your hands, or tapping the microphone - for the recording to detect the 'start' sound and begin recording.

Additionally, please make sure you have the latest version of your browser installed as well as the updated versions of our System Requirements. Audio & video recording in Schoology requires that your browser allows Schoology to use Flash.
