As an external tool, Studio can be accessed through the Studio icon in the Rich Content Editor [1]. The icon is used when embedding media into the Rich Content Editor.

Instructors can also add Studio media assignments with the Studio integration. Instructors can grade submissions in SpeedGrader just like any other Canvas assignment.

Notes: 

• To view the Studio icon, you may need to click the Options icon [2].
  
• You can also access the Studio tool from the App icon [3]. 
  

When embedding a video or audio file, any user can search for and view existing media and upload new media.

Users with instructor roles can also view uploads for individual courses.

When submitting a video or audio file for an assignment, students can submit Studio media through the Rich Content Editor as a Text Entry submission, or they can access their Studio media directly as a File Upload submission.

Hover over the media you want to select [1]. Then, click the Select button [2].

You can display Media Tabs in the embedded media file. The Media Tabs can include the Details, Comments, Insights, and Captions tabs. To hide the Media Tabs in the embedded media file, click the Display media tabs toggle button. 

If you are embedding media from an external source such as YouTube or Vimeo, you can set the media to begin playing at a particular timestamp. 

To embed media at a timestamp, click or play the video to the desired time [2]. Then, click the Set current button [3]. The time displayed on the Set current button displays in the Timestamp field [3]. Alternatively, enter a time directly into the Timestamp field.

Note: The option to start embedded media at a timestamp only displays if the media is from YouTube or Vimeo.

To resize embedded media, click to disable the Display media tabs toggle [1]. Then, click the Embed button [2]. 

Click in the video window to display the Studio Media Options pop-up. Then, click the Studio Media Options link. 

The Studio Media Options tray displays information about the media, including the media title, and display and sizing options.

You can customize how the embedded media displays. To embed the video directly in the rich content editor, click the Embed Video radio button [1]. To display a text link to open the media in a new tab, click the Display Text Link (Opens in a new tab) radio button [2].

To select a pre-set size from a list, click the Size drop-down menu [3]. Pre-set size options include medium, large, and extra large.

To enter a custom size, select the Custom option [4]. Enter a custom width or height in pixels in the size fields [5]. As you enter a size, the other field will automatically update to preserve the aspect ratio.

To save the selected options, click the Done button [6]. 

Note: The media title cannot be edited from the Studio Media Options tray. To edit the media title, view the media details.

If you are embedding your own media, you can allow the media to be downloaded. To display the download option in the embedded media file, click the Display Download Option toggle button. By default, this option is turned off.

Note: The Display Download Option toggle button only displays if you are the owner who created and uploaded the media file in Studio.

Click the Embed button.

When viewing embedded media in the Rich Content Editor, users can customize their experience using the Settings menu playback controls.

Video and audio files in the Rich Content Editor may or may not include comments. When comments are enabled, the video or audio file also includes additional details available based on a user's role.
