Hello @DeaKollekowski 

Thanks for posting this in the Canvas community! 

The reason you can't use the Send to option for the student is because that function is only intended for course roles that have the permission for Course Content - add / edit / delete. Typically this is for instructor and sometimes TA roles. 

If you have something in a specific module, you could always send them a link to the module content. You would just go to the module with the recording, click on it and copy the URL at the top of your browser. This link can then be shared with the student as long as it is published and available. The other option would be to locate the media in your files page and send them a link to that file. Of course, the files navigation link would most likely need to be enabled in the course. 

Hopefully this helps!
