Is there a way for students to upload a video for their peers to view?

[jpatchett]

I would love to have students upload videos of themselves doing their final presentation so their peers can view them.  Is there a way to do this in the assignments or just the discussion?

Welcome to the Canvas Community!!!

If the videos need to be viewed by all of the students, the discussions tool is going to be your best bet.

How do students add a video to a discussion?  Sorry -- I've been using Canvas for less than one month due to distance learning.  I'm about a day ahead of my students

 @jpatchett  Welcome to the Canvas Community, and no need to apologize. We're here for you.   The Rich Content Editor (RCE) is available to students in their replies to discussions, so depending on whether your school is currently using the old or new RCE, instructions for them are here:
