Issue

Unable to upload video in blackboard

 

Environment

• Blackboard

 

Resolution

To address this issue, please note that video sizes have been restricted to 50 MB per video in Blackboard. This limitation is in place to discourage direct video uploads to the platform.

For video content, it is recommended to use a dedicated video hosting provider such as Panopto, YouTube, or Google Drive. You can then reference the video content via a direct link or through LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) integration within Blackboard. Uploading video content directly to Blackboard is not advised.
