How do I embed Canvas Studio media in a discussion reply in Canvas as a student?
You can embed a Canvas Studio video or audio file as a discussion reply in Canvas.
Once you submit a Studio video or audio file as an assignment, the video or audio file is created as a new copy owned by your instructor. You will not be able to edit any details, so please confirm the name of your video or audio file before it is uploaded as Studio media.
