You can upload a media file to Moodle and insert embedded media wherever you see an HTML editort oolbar, including Activity Descriptions,  Page or Label resources, etc.

Upload limits: The default upload limit in a coursepage is 50 MB.  It can be increased in ther course Settings. If students are submitting video,  have them host the files offsite.

File types: Recommended file types include MP4 (recommended), M4V, SWF, MP3. Other file types may not display embedded, in which case students will still see a link to the file which they can download but may need to install a player to view.  AVI and MOV files are not recommended because file sizes are very large and not all computers or devices can play them.

1. In your Moodle course, click Turn editing on, and Add or Edit the activity or resource where you will embed media.
2. In the HTML Editor content box, click where you want to embed the video or audio file.

6. Click Insert. The dialog box will close and the file will appear as a hyperlink. Do not worry if you don't see a preview of the media, the player will show on the saved Moodle page, but will not preview in the HTML editor.
   Note: The "</> Responsive style" described above for videos embedded from off-site, does not work for video uploaded to Moodle.Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save and display, Save and return to course, or Update (depending on the activity type).
