What is Canvas Studio?
Canvas Studio is a communication tool that allows instructors and students to actively collaborate through video and audio media. The California Virtual Campus-Online Education Initiative grant is funding Studio for two years.
Learners and instructors engage with video content by commenting directly onto the video timeline (in real time) and through quiz questions embedded directly into the media. This page ONLY addresses using the Canvas Studio Library and recording a video and adding captions. This resource does not include embedding quizzes which is more labor intensive. Training has yet to be developed for quizzes.
Note About Downloads: If you create a video in Canvas, and want to save it, use the download option. Media may only be downloaded if the video is an original upload to Canvas Studio or Canvas Studio recording (for example not a You Tube linked video). Students are able to download Canvas Studio media content that appears within a course if the instructor or designer has turned on the 'Display Download Option' when embedding the Canvas Studio media into the course.


Canvas Studio Media content can be shared only to others who are enrolled in the same course as you.
Create a Public Link so that anyone can view the Canvas Studio Media. Comments will not be included in public links.
Add Canvas Studio directly to a Module using the External Tool option.
The Canvas Studio Library can be accessed in the Rich Content Editor. The RCE is used to edit Pages, Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions and Announcements.
Students can submit Canvas Studio media through the Assignments, Quizzes and Discussions you assign to them. Instructors can provide real-time feedback to students within the video using SpeedGrader.
