How to record short videos using Moodle

/ by iok

Moodle offers the option to easily record videos of up to 5 minutes in length, which will be automatically published in your classroom. You can record your image or capture your screen.

This resource can help you explain specific concepts, answer questions, provide brief information, quickly show how to perform a specific action, and more.

You can record and publish the video in any text field of any activity or resource, if it has a text editor.

For it:

  • Create it and look for the video icon in the text editor. Click it.
