Enabling recording for all Canvas Conferences

If your Canvas theme allows custom CSS and JavaScript, you can force recording on for every Conference created at your institution and prevent instructors from disabling it. To set up forced recording, add the JavaScript snippet below to your Canvas theme. The snippet sets Enable recording for this conference to true and disables the checkbox so instructors cannot turn it off. The following video demonstrates the result: https://youtu.be/7oITHgBU8jg Add this snippet to your theme, or append it to any existing JavaScript already in your theme:

/* Force conferences to be recorded */
$("button.new-conference-btn").live("click",
 function() {
  rec = $("#web_conference_user_settings_record")[0];
  if (rec) { rec.checked = true; rec.disabled = true; }
 }
);

This change applies to every Conference created in Canvas. Instructors will see the Enable recording for this conference checkbox already selected and greyed out.
