I have my work in MU Video, but assignments wants me to upload a file. What can I do?

First, double-check the instructions for your assignment. Course instructors know MU Video doesn't fit with assignment's need for a file upload, so most course instructors provide details on how they would like you to submit items from MU Video.

If you've double-checked your course, and you still cannot find information on how you should submit your MU Video media, ask your course instructor.

Most often though, course instructors want you to:

1. in the comments area of the submission either:
   • embed your MU Video item using Insert Stuff
   • link to your MU Video item
2. upload a dummy file just to satisfy the assignments tool
