make a screen recording of your PowerPoint, with or without yourself in the picture
make a screen recording of a tool or orientation of your Canvas course, with or without yourself in the image
Upload and save a Zoom recording or other video from your computer
Easily caption your recordings
Share your videos with colleagues or share collections with colleagues
Create interactive quizzes and add comments to videos

Why use Canvas Studio?

Increases engagement - Canvas Studio engages students and teachers. Students can comment and ask questions while watching a video. The teacher can also add questions (Quizzes) for the students to answer while watching the video.

Increases accessibility - In Canvas Studio, you can automatically create subtitles for your video.

Access to statistics and analytics – Teachers and administrators can access useful statistics – such as what videos students have watched, for how long, and when they stopped watching. You can also access data for the entire course or limit it for specific students.

Creates new opportunities - Using Studio, students can record and upload videos, as an assignment, or in a discussion forum to show their fellow students. As a teacher, you can watch, comment, and provide feedback on each student's video submission directly in the gradebook.

Does not use the course file storage quota - Video and audio uploaded to Canvas Studio do not count towards your course storage limit. You get a personal storage location for your videos - your Library.
