How do I use Canvas Studio?
A Canvas Studio account allows you to manage all your Studio media at any time. You can view, share, and comment on any uploaded video or audio media file.
When Studio is integrated with Canvas, users with instructor roles can also view media within their course.
Most commonly, Studio accounts are integrated with Canvas and can be accessed through your institution's Global Navigation Menu. However, Studio can also be accessed through a separate Studio site (most commonly for admins).
To learn about available keyboard shortcuts in Canvas Studio, view the Studio Media Player Keyboard Shortcuts PDF.
Note: If your Canvas Global Navigation Menu does not include a link to Studio, and your institution did not provide you with an email to log into the Studio site, you can always access Studio through the Rich Content Editor Studio icon, though full functionality is limited. If you are an instructor, you can also access Studio through the Course Navigation Menu.
View Studio Navigation Toolbar
Within the Studio interface, Studio includes a navigation toolbar at the top of every page. The toolbar includes the Navigation Menu icon [1], as well as icons to record media [2], add media [3], and search media [4].
View Library
Studio defaults to the My Library page, which shows all the media you've uploaded to Studio. Collections display first and then media files display in the order they were uploaded, starting with the most recently uploaded media.
View Shared Media
The Shared with Me page contains media shared with you by other Studio users. You can also share your media with other Studio users as well.
View Course Media
If you are an instructor, you can view media uploaded to your courses.
Note: Media must be added to the course before the course appears in the navigation menu.
Search Media
The search field returns searches for titles, description terms, or terms that match specific tags. Tags and descriptions can be created when a creator adds a video or audio file and edits the details.
To search for a video or audio file, click the Search icon [1]. In the Search field [2], enter the name or subject of the video or audio file. Click the Enter or Return key on your keyboard.
View Search Results
Any results display in the page.
Upload Media
To upload media, click the Add button. You can also drag and drop video or audio files into your My Library page.
Record Media
To record media, click the Record button. You can use your webcam to record a video in Studio.
View Media
To view the media, hover over the video or audio file and click the media thumbnail. Viewing media allows you to manage all details and settings as well as manage comments and view user analytics.
