I'm posting videos on several Pages in my course for my students. If a student goes back to watch the video a second time, will Canvas record that the student watched the video two times?
@BrendaRengers ...
This would depend on what video interface you are using within Canvas? Has your school/institution purchased Canvas Studio? (You would see a "Studio" icon in your far left-hand side global navigation menu of Canvas.) If you have Studio, then you can see "insights" on who has watched your video and what parts have been viewed. However, if you don't have Studio, then this will be harder to gauge. You could go into a student's "Access Report" screen to see the number of page views for the page that the video was linked/embedded on, but this doesn't guarantee that the student watched the video on the page...only that the student accessed the page.
@BrendaRengers ,
In addition to the information provided to you by @Chris_Hofer about Canvas Studio, if you do have Canvas Studio you will easily be able to track student engagement and watch analytics / insights.
To my knowledge, Canvas Studio will not directly report that the student watched the video two times, however it will present to you how much of the video they watched. Now, when it comes to a scenario where the student watches the video once, and only watched half way through, but then watches it again a second time but this time the whole way through, the only thing that the Insights will show are updates of how much the student watched, not the actual amount of times they viewed it, if that makes any sense? However, if you're just uploading a file to your course, then canvas studio engagement isn't applicable in this circumstance and the best way to track how many times they viewed it would be through access reports, as Chris was talking about above.
Hope this helps, too.

There is known issue about being unable to use Media Recorder to record media in the RCE and save it when the webcam is disabled (audio only). It's the same whether or not assignment enhancements is on. Recording media with a disabled webcam in the RCE causes an error message during the save process - Instructure Community…
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
