Tech help

I am a GA for class MKTG 360. The professor asked me to upload a 49G zoom video under week 5 of MKTG 360 and MKTG 645 in Canvas. I couldn't upload this video file to the Canvas. Please help.

Thank you,

Good morning, @Tracy_2022 ...

49 GB for a Zoom recording is really large!  Generally speaking, Canvas courses are set at a default of 500 MB.  (This is a Canvas Administrator Guide showing this: How do I set storage quotas for an account? - Canvas Community).  There are a couple things you can try in Canvas:

• Media upload - How do I upload a video using the Rich Content Edi... - Canvas Community or How do I upload and embed a media file from my com... - Canvas Community
• If you have Canvas Studio - How do I upload media in Canvas Studio? - Canvas Community
• Do you have a streaming media server at your school?  You might be able to talk to someone in your school's IT department about this.  Basically, you would give them your Zoom recording so they can put it on the streaming media server.  Then, they should be able to give you a link that you can then put into your course.  They might be able to give you embed code as well ... so that the video shows up immediately on a Canvas page.

Beyond these options, you might want to consider uploading this video to somewhere like YouTube or Vimeo.  Then you can embed the video from either of those sites into your Canvas course.

I hope these resources will be of help to you.  Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!  Take care, stay safe, and be well.

I thought Studio uploads do not count towards your course quota?

@MaskeM ...

Studio uploads do not count towards your course quota.  I apologize if that was not clear in my above posting.  Studio content lives on a different server, so it's different than storing files in a course.

in addition to what @Chris_Hofer provided, it sounds like to me that your post was intended for the canvas support personnel at your institution.  if that is the case, you should contact them to find out what options are available.  They will be better equipped to help with the specifics as it relates to the courses at your institution.
