How do I create a Canvas Studio video quiz?

Instructors, teaching assistants (TAs), designers, and Canvas Studio account admins can create quizzes from their My Library page in Studio.

After creating a Canvas Studio video quiz, you can embed the quiz in a Canvas course. After students take the quiz, you can view the quiz or individual student results. You can also post quiz grades to your gradebook.

Notes:

  • You can only create Studio quizzes from videos in your My Library page.
  • Studio quizzes support Multiple Choice, True or False, and Multiple Answer question types.
  • Studio quizzes do not support more than 50 questions in a quiz. Quizzes with more than 50 questions cannot be edited and may not display properly for students.
  • Multiple quizzes can be added to a media file.
  • If the quiz creation option does not display in Studio, this feature is not enabled in your account. Please contact your admin for more information.
  • When you share a Studio video, any quiz created in that video is not included.
  • When you copy Canvas course content, quizzes created in Studio do not copy and will need to be re-imported to the new course.
