Our institution recently renewed our license for Studio with our Canvas LMS Package, and as such, we are trying to encourage faculty to use Studio whenever possible to record their videos for classes. We know our faculty will appreciate the auto-captioning and analytics that come with using Studio. However, one thing we…
The known issue about ads playing in Studio has been "KNOWN" and is being addressed by the engineers for over 1 month. Any updates at all? My teachers are working on summer school assignments and if this will not be useable, I need to let them know to have an alternate plan. This is a costly add-on to Canvas that has not…
My students have been having multiple issues with Canvas Studio quizzes lately: * The video freezing on an annotation and not allowing students to continue the video * Quiz answers not saving * The video randomly stopping at multiple points for no reason * Quiz answers not saving if students try to exit and re-enter the…
I've been having an issue with canvas videos where seeking is disabled. There appears to be poor tracking of the location in the video across sessions. In other words, when closing or refreshing the browser or restarting the computer after running out of battery, the video either goes back to the beginning or goes back by…
I have a teacher who wanted to see if there was a way she could apply an access code to a Canvas Studio Quiz - similar to Classic/New Quizzes. Is there a way to do this or could this be added as a feature request? Thank you! Heath
This is the scenario: I need to record a rather lengthy Welcome and Overview/Tutorial video that will be shown to all staff, so it needs to be one video (I'm thinking about 20 minutes). I won't be able to record it all in one sitting if I want to get it just right. I see in the Guides that we are able to Pause a video and…
I have been trying to connect Zoom and Canvas Studio, to no avail. I followed the steps outlined in the support guides. I am having the exact same issue as this person who posted about it in 2023. Everything I've found has simply directed people to either canvas support or zoom support, who then suggest to contact the…
How do I submit my video I recorded when it says unable to process. It was a 15 minute long video.
Perhaps not many people use captions with two lines, but what used to work fine no longer works after this latest update. When captioning movies, quite often there are multiple people speaking at near the same time, and that is usually denoted by having the second voice on a different line. A simple line break in the…
I used the Canvas Studio app button (not an embed code) to put annotated videos on lecture pages. I rely on annotations to create pause points and questions. The videos are nearly unusable without these. The annotations suddenly vanished for my students with the update. When I visit a Course Collection, the ability to view…
