You can create assignments where students can submit videos or audio files from their Canvas Studio accounts.

Studio media submissions can be created as a Text Entry or Online submission type. Both submission types allow students to access their Canvas Studio account and select a video or audio file. Currently, External Tool submission types are not supported.

  • Text Entry: Allows students to embed media using the Canvas Studio icon in the Rich Content Editor
  • File Uploads: Allows students to view the Studio tab as a submission option

Notes: 

  • Students can submit Canavs Studio media assignments via the web or the Canvas by Instructure Android or iOS app.
  • When an assignment using Canvas Studio is muted, submission comments are still visible to students.
