Yale has integrated Media Library, also known as Panopto, within each Canvas course. This tool allows faculty, teaching fellows, and students to record and upload content to folders in Canvas. Faculty may decide that they prefer to record and upload lectures to their courses to ensure students in different time zones or with varied technologies can watch lectures at home.  Click the link below to view the help article.
