FAQs
When I record a video, what happens when I select “Try Again”? Who will see these Practice Attempts?
Once you select “Try Again”, your video will be discarded. Nobody will be able to see the contents of that video (even yourself). Only once you are satisfied with your recording and submit to the Prompt & Response Stage, will it be available for review by your Peers and/or Instructor/Manager.
Why is my video taking so long to upload?
Depending on your internet speed and the size of your video, you might find that it takes a while to upload. To help ensure that this process is as fast as possible, we recommend:
- Connecting to high-speed internet. Test your speed at Speedtest. Upload speeds of at least 2 Mbps are required. However, the higher the speed, the faster the upload.
- Compressing very large files. Learn how to compress a video.
When I record a video, why am I getting an upload error (on mobile)?
When uploading your video via the Practice App, please be sure to keep your device “awake” during the entire uploading process. Allowing the device to “sleep” can disrupt the uploading and cause an upload error.
Why am I not receiving any emails?
Be sure to check your SPAM/Junk/Clutter folder and add the domain practice.instructure.com to your safe-sender list.
