Record audio, video, and screencasts directly in Google Classroom

 Big news for the "Stream": You no longer need three different browser extensions just to send a video message to your students. Google Classroom has officially launched integrated audio, video, and screencast recording.

📽️ Where you’ll see the "Record" button:

  • Private Comments: Give your typing fingers a break. Record a quick voice note or screencast to walk a student through a tough math problem or provide pronunciation tips.

  • Announcements: Start the week with a 30-second video to build rapport and set the tone.

  • Assignments: Instead of a wall of text, record your instructions. It’s a game-changer for accessibility and ensures nothing gets lost in translation.

  • Student Submissions: Students can now "show what they know" through video or audio, providing a lifeline for those who struggle with written output.

The Bottom Line: This isn't just a new button; it’s a way to make digital learning feel more human. It saves you time on grading and gives your students a clearer path to success.
