How do I add annotations to my media in Canvas Studio?
You can add annotations to your media in Canvas Studio. Annotations include a headline and text, and you can also add links and hyperlinks. When viewers play the annotated media, the media pauses and annotations display. You can also edit and delete annotations.
Notes:
- After logging into Canvas Studio through Canvas Global Navigation, you can add annotations to your uploaded media. Annotations cannot be added to your media anywhere else in the Canvas interface.
- You can only add annotations to your own uploaded media. However, you can add time-stamped comments to media that is shared with you.
