How to submit audio/video recordings to an Assessment (Students)

Instructors may include an Audio or Video question on an assessment that allows you to record audio/video directly within the assessment and include it in your submission.

Recording in assessments is not supported on the Schoology mobile apps. Students should submit video/audio recordings via the mobile browser or desktop.
