A note about Canvas's built-in Upload Media tool
Canvas has an awesome, built-in Upload Media tool that both you and your students can use. In fact, it's a superior workflow for managing student video assignments. But, there are several reasons why instructors may wish to stick with Kaltura for lecture content or other instructional recordings:
- Kaltura allows up to 2gb upload file size, but Canvas only allows up to 500mb (1/4 the size).
- Kaltura automatically captions your videos at a 75% accuracy level; you have to add captions on your own with Canvas.
- Kaltura streams to viewers' devices based on their screen size and internet connection; Canvas only renders the version you uploaded.
- Kaltura allows you to record from your screen and webcam; Canvas only lets you record from your webcam or voice.
