Our team is new to Canvas and supports instructors with building online courses prior to inagural delivery. I am trying to determine the best way to setup studio videos for instructors that can later be revised by another member of our development team or the instructor. It seems that quizzes, annotations, and comments can…
Regarding videos, can I edit captions in a course, without affecting the master video in the main studio? I need to add captions in different languages to different courses. Or is it better to make copies of the videos in the main studio and do separate captioning there? Thanks.
In UFMBP-App ->Assignments _-> Marking and Clipping Queens Click on the play button, icon changes to "pause" but the player does not play/advance. Was working on previous lessons. Chrome Browser, Windows 11. Restarted browser, rebooted, still no luck. Tried Edge also, does not play the lesson.
Is there a way for an individual student to see insights in Studio on themselves? How long they have watched the video. Several students have inquired about whether they have finished a video, but I only know how I as the instructor can check. I would love for them to be able to keep up with that. Is there a way?

I'm on Apple desktop computers. I've tried with an…
How do I move a file from one of my Course Collections to My Library? I have a video file in a course collection (multiple actually) that I'm trying to move into a new course, but the "move" option is not offered. I'm realizing the "move" option is only listed for videos in My Library. So, how do I get the video file into…
Hello, Is there anything that can be done to disable the censoring that happens in the auto-generated captions in Canvas Studio? I am a Canvas admin and I had a faculty member report to me over the weekend that Studio was censoring words including "pornography" and "orgasm" in her lecture. These words are crucial to the…
