Canvas Studio the next-generation, interactive, video-centric approach to learning that turns one-way, passive video into two-way, inclusive, productive discussion. It allows you to record, edit, caption, and manage media within Canvas, Randolph-Macon College's learning management system (LMS). Canvas Studio uses Screencast-O-Matic as their recording tool. Canvas and Canvas Studio have created excellent text and video tutorials on their website. Rather than recreate those here, this guide identifies popular topics and provides direct links to tutorials on those topics to make them easier to locate.

Accessing Canvas Studio from your Global Navigation
We recommend instructors and students access Canvas Studio from their Global Navigation to create and edit screen capture, and to manage videos (including lecture capture, YouTube videos and uploaded videos) for their courses.
It is only from the Global Navigation that the instructor can create quizzes to videos in his/her Studio Library. Refer to tutorials (Text | Video) on adding quizzes.
Accessing Studio from the Course Navigation
In a Canvas course, Studio in the course navigation is only available to the Instructor. Students do not see the link. The course instructor can add and record new videos/screen captures for the course, which become part of his/her Studio library, accessible from the Global Navigation. The instructor cannot create quizzes to media from the course Studio link, but can embed in the course media with quizzes.
