How do I add media from YouTube and Vimeo in my Studio account?
If allowed by your institution, you can add media from YouTube and Vimeo in your Studio account. Once the YouTube or Vimeo video is added in Studio, you can add annotations, share access, and manage the media using the media tabs.
Currently, Studio does not support caption transcripts for videos added via URL. To add captions to these media, you can add captions in Studio. Additionally, you can only replace the video thumbnail for videos you upload in Studio.
If a YouTube or Vimeo video's privacy settings change to restrict public access, the Studio player displays a notice. Contact the video owner and request an update to the video share settings.
Studio also supports uploading media files to your Studio account.
Notes:
- Vimeo videos with an Unlisted privacy setting cannot be added to Studio.
- Admins can restrict users from adding media via YouTube or Vimeo. Learn more about managing permissions in Canvas Studio.
