Record videos up to 25 minutes long and add them anywhere where the Brightspace Editor is available. To help ensure all users can learn without barriers, closed captions are automatically created.
Note: The ability to add video notes is controlled by a permission set by your administrator. If you do not see the Add Video Note option, you do not have the required permission. Videos respect the settings you define in the Attributes page.
- Navigate to the specific area in your course where you want to add a Video Note (Assignments, Discussions, Quizzes).
- Within the Brightspace Editor, click Insert Stuff.
Figure: The Insert Stuff button in Brightspace Editor.
- In the new dialog box, click Add Video Note.
Note: Ensure that you allow Brightspace to access your device’s camera and microphone.

Reuse video notes
If you created previous video notes, and if you have the permissions to search and insert video notes, you can reuse them where applicable.
- Navigate to the specific area where you want to reuse an existing video note.
- In the Brightspace Editor, click the Insert Stuff icon.
- Click Video Note Search.
Figure: The Video Note Search option within the Insert Stuff dialog box.
- Enter your search terms in the Search Notes field, then click Search. You can also perform a blank search to see all search results.
- Select the video you want to reuse and click Next.
- You can preview the video notes before you insert and reuse it.
- Click Insert.
There are two potential reasons your content may not be working:
-
When using the Insert Stuff framework to add a YouTube video or other embedded media in a Content frame, the certain internet browsers block the content because it is unsecure without informing the user that there is actually an invisible block around where the media should be. This makes it appear as if the insert failed even though the browser is actually blocking the unsecure content.
To resolve this issue, the URL that is linked from within the Content frames must use https:// and not an http:// URL. It may be necessary to reconsider linking to content If the destination site doesn't have an https://. If it is necessary, know that you need to enable the ability to view unsecure content.
-
It is possible your course is Sandboxed. To enhance the security of content files that execute scripts to create extra-rich HTML experiences (such as objects that can execute JavaScript), there is a sandboxing feature that creates a secure iFrame around the HTML file. This allows an HTML file to execute scripts (such as JavaScript) within the iFrame only but will prevent them from executing outside the iFrame (against the domain). This enables some flexibility in creating rich content, and provides reassurance for the security-conscious that end user information remains secure in all situations (such as in courses where non-privileged roles are contributing content.)
To find out if your course is sandboxed, contact your instructor.
