Where to find the video shorts in student guides?

Hello,

The Canvas video guides for students, instructors, and admins will be deprecated in December 2025. Where can I find a short video that provides an overview of Canvas's basic navigation for newly enrolled students? I could not find a video short in the Introduction within Canvas student guides.

Thank you!

Hi @tl-learning,

Thank you for pointing this out. I was not aware that the "Video Guides" page of the Community was going to be deprecated.

I believe that message is referring to going into a specific guide (such as https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-view-my-courses-in-the-Card-View-Dashboard/ta-p/618765) and watching the video from within that guide.

Unless it is in the process of being designed/developed, it sounds like there is not going to be a central location of "shorts" / videos.

This is super-annoying. I have linked to many of these video guides in many of our help resources and now they are just being yanked.

Is there going to be a video that gives students an overview of Canvas? This thread does not show where the "Shorts" videos are.

Hi, @chrisgenthe! You can find links and embed code replacements for the current videos in the Overview Video Guides Replacement resource doc.

Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
