Moodle Video Upload Troubleshooting

Due to a bug in Moodle, videos are currently not playing in the Moodle app. To ensure our students continue to have access to all course materials, we’ve provided a workaround.

Please watch this short video tutorial if you need to update existing videos or add additional videos to your course. We’ve also provided a written step-by-step guide for reference.

Thank you for helping ensure our students are well prepared and have access to all of their course materials!
