Note: if you don’t already have the Media Gallery tool enabled in your course, you will have to add it through the Settings in your menu.

 2. Near the top right (just below “Help for this tool”), choose “Edit” from the dropdown menu.

3. On the next page, in the Options section, check the box next to “Enable Annoto in channel”

4. Click “Save” to enable Annoto in channel

Once Added, go to your media and click on the chat icon in the upper right-hand corner of the video.

You can now start adding comments and your viewers can also add comments and replies to your messages!
