The Moodle Course Media Block allows you to upload your recorded screencast into Moodle, in the appropriate formats to ensure that students can access your recording from a variety of computers and mobile devices. The Moodle Course Media Block must be used to upload screencast recordings into Moodle – other methods of uploading video and audio into Moodle are not supported.
