Moodle - How to record audio

Students and instructors can quickly record audio up to two minutes in duration on any Moodle resource or activity with the editing toolbar, including Moodle Pages, Forums, Assignment Feedback, etc.

  2. A small window will open and you can click Start Recording


  3. You may be prompted by your browser to Allow Moodle to use your microphone, Click Yes/Accept
    There is a maximum of 2 minutes to record audio. Once complete ensure to click Stop Recording


  4. There are 3 options once you have stopped Recording.
    -Listen to recording by pressing the small play button
    -Record again to try again if you made a mistake
    -Attach Recording will add the audio to your content area
