How to record short videos using Moodle

Moodle offers the possibility of easily recording videos of a maximum of 5 minutes in length, so that they are automatically published in your classroom.

This resource can be used to explain specific concepts, resolve doubts…

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

For it:

Add an activity or a resource

  • Select the activity or resource in which you want to include the video that will be recorded. If you are only interested in the video, you can use a tag or a page to record and view it. Suppose we want to view it directly in the classroom. In that case we would create a Text and media area resource.
  • Look for the resource Text and media area and click to add it.
