Embedding Audio and Video in Discussions

Instructors and students can share audio and video files in the Discussions tool, as a new thread or reply, using the Insert Stuff button in the eLC HTML editor.

Note: We recommend using Kaltura to save video files before embedding them in discussions. This saves on file space, and ensures that videos are saved in a secure UGA platform.
