Video Notes Most LMS have a built-in “video note” feature. Unfortunately, captioning video notes can be very cumbersome. Canvas: Grab URL, caption, upload SRT, OR use CaptionSync Smart Player D2L Brightspace: Download/Caption/Encode/Re-upload Blackboard: “Video Everywhere” uses YouTube; use CaptionSync YouTube integration
Video Uploads Most LMS allow uploads of MP4 video that was created with other tools, but many have limits on the size of the video files that can be uploaded Brightspace: Large videos can be uploaded, SRT can be added Canvas: Can upload SRT or use CaptionSync Smart Player, but small file size limit Blackboard: Small file size, no way to caption (currently), except open captions
YouTube Embeds Most LMS have built-in YouTube embed widgets For YouTube videos that you own, using the CaptionSync YouTube integration provides a simple workflow For videos that you don’t own, use the CaptionSync Smart Player instead YouTube embed tool in Canvas

Video Platforms from LMS Vendors D2L Brightspace Capture Canvas with ARC opens interesting new possibilities Blackboard Learn with Bb Collaborate Ultra is also promising
Summary We do not recommend most LMS video note features Currently the simplest workflow for including captioned video in LMS courses is to use a video platform that is integrated both with your LMS and with CaptionSync Using the Smart Player embedded on a course page is also a convenient option in many cases
