VidGrid videos for Canvas Assignments

There are two ways to have a student turn in a VidGrid video for a Canvas Assignment.  They can turn in the link to the video or embed the video in the submission. Make sure you include “Text Entry” or “Website URL” as a submission type when you create the assignment. 

To turn in a previously recorded VidGrid video as an assignment, do the following steps.

1. To have them turn in the assignment as a link, Open video in VidGrid
2. Click on the “share” icon.
3. A popup window will appear giving the student a link to the video.  They should highlight it and type (cntrl + C) to copy it to their clipboard.
4. Click on the submission button in the assignment and paste in the website URL.
5. To embed the video you can click on the symbol V in the center of bottom row of the Text Entry area and select the option “VidGrid embed”.  From your video list, select the video you wish submitted to the assignment and click on the Embed button and then the submit assignment button to submit it.
