What is Canvas Studio?

Canvas Studio is a tool which allows ALL USERS IN CANVAS (including students) a location to create, store, and share video content.

Think of it as a video library.

Add Content: How to Upload & Create Videos

- If you have videos you've already created (Screencast-O-Matic, for example) --or -- YouTube videos* you'd like to use in your classes, you can upload them to Studio.
- Here's the Guide: How do I Upload Media in Canvas Studio?

*Youtube Video tip: Embed Youtube videos within the course instead of uploading to Studio. It will preserve the captions.

Canvas Studio also allows you (and your students) to RECORD video content (either a screencapture or via webcam*). This feature is built-in, so you no longer need to use a third-party tool (unless you prefer). *Studio will also provide closed captions on videos you create with screencapture or via webcam, which you can edit for accuracy.
Some Considerations....

- Your video library can be organized into different Collections within your Studio environment.

Students can submit media, create recordings, and take quizzes, depending on the settings and parameters determined by instructors .
