Canvas Studio is a video learning platform integrated directly into Canvas. It enables you to create, host, manage, and share video and audio content seamlessly within your courses with no external tools required. Studio supports screen and webcam recording, built-in video editing, auto-generated captions, interactive video quizzing, and distraction-free YouTube embedding. It also allows students to submit media-based assignments and engages them with embedded quiz questions that automatically feed results into the Canvas Gradebook. Designed with accessibility and ease of use in mind, Canvas Studio transforms passive video viewing into an active, measurable, and fully integrated learning experience.
