Large File, New Warning

[cpowell2]

I recently was made aware of a warning message in the “preview” window in Canvas courses when students select some files. The warning message seems to be occuring for files greater than 25 megabytes (MB).

Wanted to share what I’m seeing, should you or any of your colleagues receive messages from students who are having issues viewing large file previews in a Canvas course. This video shows the warning message I am seeing in more than one Canvas course.

Thank you, @cpowell2. I am sure that others will find it helpful.

I have seen it a few times before but I am not sure how "new" it is.
