What is Canvas Studio?

Canvas Studio is a communication tool that allows instructors and students to actively collaborate through video and
audio media. Learn more about Studio on the Studio website.

Students and Instructor Engagement

Studio's interface lets students and instructors engage with media content by commenting directly on the media timeline.
Students can learn from each other's insights as well as from the instructor's direction and feedback.

Comments are noted with the posting time and date, along with the aligned time in the media. Comments can also be shown as
inline comments in the timeline while viewing the media. Users can also post replies to comments as well, which can supplement
the comments and are not part of the timeline display.

Studio Guide Updated 2020-01-21 Page 6

 Studio Guide

Asset Management

In a Studio account, Studio's asset management automatically organizes media to help users find content easily.

For instructors, any media added to a course is created as a separate collection so they can tag media for better organization
and searchability.

Analytics

Studio Guide Updated 2020-01-21 Page 7

 Studio Guide

Media owners can also view media engagement through user analytics. Unlike other media sites, Studio analyzes views on a
per-user basis.

Studio's analytics allow instructors and administrators to quickly and easily analyze the media students are viewing, how long
they are viewing, and when they stop viewing. This information allows instructors to optimize media to communicate critical
information more effectively and monitor student behavior.

Canvas Integration

Studio integrates with Canvas for a seamless learning experience. Studio media can be embedded in the Rich Content Editor,
which is available in multiple feature areas including Assignments, Discussions, and Pages.

Studio Guide Updated 2020-01-21 Page 8

 Studio Guide

How do I access Canvas Studio?

Depending on your institution's goals and preferences, Canvas Studio can be accessed in several ways. Most commonly,
Studio accounts are integrated with Canvas.

Studio Account

The most direct way to access Studio is through a Studio account.

You can use a Studio account to view, share, and comment on any uploaded video or audio media file.

Access Overview

• Users can upload and manage media files at any time

• Users who upload media are considered to be the media owner
• Media owners can manage all media settings and functionality including setting user details and viewing analytics
• Media owners can manage comments in their media
• Media owners can share media with other users and grant viewing or editing access
• Media always allow and display comments
• Media include a link and embed code to use in public sites (comments are never displayed)

Canvas Global Navigation Menu

In Canvas, if Studio is enabled for everyone in your institution, the Global Navigation Menu includes a Studio link. This link gives
you direct access to your Studio account from anywhere in Canvas.

Note: If your Global Navigation Menu does not include a Studio link, you can still access Studio through the Rich Content Editor.

Canvas
When Studio is integrated with Canvas, users can access Studio as an external tool through the Rich Content Editor. Instructors
can access Studio through the Course Navigation link. The Studio integration allows instructors to seamlessly integrate media
interaction into the classroom.

Studio Guide Updated 2020-01-21 Page 10

 Studio Guide

Rich Content Editor

The Rich Content Editor is part of multiple features in Canvas including Assignments, Discussions, and Pages. For students, the
Rich Content Editor is also available in course groups and in Text Entry assignment submissions.

Users can access Studio through the Rich Content Editor even if they do not have direct access to their Studio account through
the Global Navigation Menu. However, access through the Rich Content Editor includes modified functionality and gives more
control to the course instructor.

Access Overview

• Users can only access their Studio account when using the Rich Content Editor, including media uploads
• Students who upload a media file in either a course or a group are not considered to be the video owner; a copy of the media
is made for the course instructor to manage
• Media can be embedded with or without comments
• After media is embedded, instructors can manage all media settings and functionality for course media including setting
user details and viewing analytics
• Instructors can manage comments in all course media
• Existing comments in embedded media are not included in course copies.

Studio Guide Updated 2020-01-21 Page 11

 Studio Guide

Course Navigation Link

Instructors can also view their course uploads through the Studio link in the Course Navigation Menu. This functionality offers
full access as noted when viewing Studio in a Studio Account.

Studio Site

Studio Guide Updated 2020-01-21 Page 12

 Studio Guide

Currently, Studio provides a separate login site for Studio admins. Studio sites allow admins to manage users for their
institution. This site is separate from Canvas and is hosted in a separate URL. However, all other content in the Studio site is the
same as in a Studio account.

Accessing this site requires an email invitation to create a user password. Any user who receives an email invitation can access
the Studio site.

Note: If your institution enables Canvas authentication, you can log into your Studio site with your Canvas credentials.

Access Overview

• Users must log in to a separate URL

• Users have the same access as standard Studio accounts
• Users with Studio admin roles can manage users

What file formats does Canvas Studio support?

Canvas Studio supports video and audio playback and can upload specific media files up to 10 GB.

Supported Video Formats

Studio supports H.264 video playback.

Studio will accept the following video files for playback:

• flv – Flash Video

• asf – Windows Media

• avi – Digital Video Format
• m4v – Digital Video Format
• wmv – Windows Media
• mp4 – Digital Video Format
• 3gp – Multimedia Mobile Format

Why did my video upload fail?

There are a few common things that cause uploaded videos to fail processing:

1. Your Quicktime file has external references. Quicktime allows you to edit videos, including adding pieces of separate video
files. Unfortunately, saving from Quicktime merely references pieces of separate videos, which means that they’re not
included in the file that’s uploaded.

2. Your video file contains a portion of either audio or video that is not supported.

3. Your video file is corrupt or its format is unidentifiable and doesn’t match the file extension.

Supported Audio Formats

Studio will accept the following audio files for playback:

• mp3 – Digital Audio Format

• wma – Windows Media Audio
• wav – Waveform Audio File Format

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

full functionality is limited. If you are an instructor, you can also access Studio through the Course Navigation Menu.

How do I share media with a user in Canvas Studio?

You can share a video or audio file with any user in your institution's account and allow them view or edit rights. Users can
view shared media in the Shared with Me drop-down link. You can change or remove sharing permissions for media at any
time.

If you allow a user to view a video or audio file, the user can view the media, have access to the sharing settings embed
code and public link, share the media with others, remove themselves from having access to view the media, the details,
and comments.

If you allow a user to edit a video or audio file, the user has all permissions allowed as if that user had originally uploaded
the media file, including deleting the media, editing details and options, and viewing analytic insights.

This lesson shows you how to share media directly from the My Uploads page. However, when you own media or a user has
shared media with you, sharing options are also available when viewing a video.

Notes:

• Currently, you cannot share media with a user until Canvas Studio verifies the user's account in a course enrollment.
Verifications are made when the user views embedded Studio media in a Canvas course. Additionally, you can only
share media with users in your Canvas courses.
• Any quizzes added to a video will not be included when the video is shared.

How do I use Canvas Studio through the Rich Content Editor?

Canvas Studio can be used as a standalone product, but its strength lies in its integration power. Studio integrates with
Canvas and allows instructors to seamlessly integrate media interaction into the classroom.

When Studio is integrated with Canvas, all Studio users can use Studio as an external tool through the the Rich Content
Editor. The Rich Content Editor is part of multiple features in Canvas including Assignments, Discussions, and Pages. For
students, the Rich Content Editor is also available in course groups and in Text Entry assignment submissions.

By default, embedded media files allow comments to be added, though comments can be removed based on user
preference.

Note: Depending on your user role, not all Studio functionality may be available through the Rich Content Editor. If your
Global Navigation Menu includes a link to Studio, you can manage videos at any time directly through an Studio account.
Instructors can also access Studio through the Course Navigation Menu.

View Studio Icon

As an external tool, Studio can be accessed through the Studio icon in the Rich Content Editor [1]. The icon is used when
embedding media into the Rich Content Editor.

Instructors can also add Studio media assignments with the Studio integration. Instructors can grade submissions in

How do I embed Canvas Studio media in a course?

In Canvas, users can embed media from Canvas Studio in any feature area with the Rich Content Editor, including
Assignments, Discussions, and Pages. Media is embedded using the Studio LTI tool. You can select existing media and also
upload new media through the Studio LTI tool.

When embedding media in Canvas, comments are enabled by default, but you can choose to disable comments. Regardless
of comments, embedded media views are always included in analytics. Additionally, when embedding media in Canvas, the
download option is disabled by default, but you can choose to enable the download option.

Embedding Media in Assignments and Discussions

If you are an instructor and embedding media in an assignment or a discussion, you may consider disabling comments. For
graded assignments, inline comments are not a replacement for submissions and never display in SpeedGrader. For
instance, when embedding media in a graded discussion, students could post inline comments, but to receive a grade, they
would also have to post a reply to the graded discussion. The discussion reply would display in SpeedGrader for grading.
However, comments could be enabled when embedding media in a No Submission or Not Graded assignment.

Embedding Media as a Student

If you are a student, media you embed into a Canvas course or group is created as a new copy owned by your instructor.
When embedding media, you will not be able to edit any details, so you may want to confirm the name of your media
before it is uploaded. Otherwise, you can contact your instructor to modify the details of your media.

How do I view user insights and analytics for Canvas Studio media in a course as an instructor?

How do I view Canvas Studio media using the Test Student as an instructor?

In Canvas, you can view Studio media the same way that your students view media in a course through Student View.
Enabling Student View creates a Test Student in your course and automatically creates a Studio account. You can activate
Student View in your Course Settings.

To see the student's perspective on Canvas, use Student View to view the course, post and reply to discussions, submit
assignments, view grades, view people, view pages, view the syllabus, view quizzes, view the calendar, and view the
scheduler (if enabled).

Attendance, conferences, conversations, collaborations, differentiated assignments, groups, peer reviews, and profiles do
not work for the Test Student. You will see only what you, as the instructor, allow your students to see.

Notes:

• Each Canvas course has a separate Test Student account. Whenever you move to a new course you will need to enable
Student View for that course.
• Submissions and scores for the Test Student do not affect course analytics.
• You can only view the course layout as it is seen by your students. You cannot view student-specific information, such
as conversations between students.
• Once you activate Student View, the Test Student is shown at the end of the Gradebook and is automatically added to
every section in your course. However, the Test Student is not shown in the section enrollment count.

How do I create a user in a Canvas Studio site as an admin?

When users access Canvas Studio through Canvas, users are automatically given an Studio account, added to the Studio
users list, and assigned a Studio role based on their user role in Canvas. However, if you need to add a specific user to
Studio (usually as an admin), you should create their account through your institution's Studio site.

When you add a user to your Studio site, the user receives an email invitation to create a password to access the Studio
site.

Note: Currently once you create a user, you cannot remove the user from the Studio account.

Sign in to Studio Site

In a browser window, enter the URL of your Studio account [1].

In the Email field [2], enter your email address. This is the email address where you received your invitation to create an Studio
password.

In the Password field [3], enter your password. If you forgot your password, click the Forgot password? link [4].

As a Studio admin, you can manage and create developer keys for your Canvas Studio account. A developer key is a code
