Canvas - How do I add media to my assignment submission?
You can add media to your assignment, either as part of a text entry or as your entire submission. Any attachments added as part of a graded assignment submission are also copied to your user files but are not counted against your user quota. However, once the file has been uploaded as a submission, you cannot delete the file. Files are stored in the Submissions folder. Notes: Canvas will not accept media uploads larger than 500 MB. Your instructor will decide what type of submissions are allowed. One or both of these options may not be available
