Creating Video Lectures Using Zoom

When you recreate your classroom lectures, it is best to use Zoom. When using Zoom to create videos, you can show yourself, a screen you are working on, or both at the same time. There are really three steps you need to follow to end up with a video lecture in your Canvas course.

Step 1. Sign into Zoom and record to your computer. You can share a powerpoint, screen, and/or yourself in your recording.

Step 2. Create a Youtube account, and upload your video to your personal YouTube channel.

Go to YouTube.com and click Sign in, which is located in the top right corner of the screen.
Log in using your personal Google account, or select Create account, and follow the directions on the screen.
Once you are logged in, choose the Profile icon, which is located in the top right corner of the screen.
Select Create a Channel.
Name your channel.
Select Create

Step 3. Embed the YouTube video into a Canvas page.
