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.

To select a media, click the media thumbnail.

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.

Note: By default, this option may be on or off. Admins control whether it is on or off by default through Studio Settings.

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 select the timestamp where the beginning of the content is highlighted on playback, enter it in the Start embedded media at field [1].

Alternatively, you can locate a start time in the media player. To begin play back, click the Start button [2]. The timestamp displays [3]. To navigate through the media, click and drag the time stamp indicator [4]. When the media reaches the desired start point, stop the playback and click the Set Current button [5].  

To reset and set a new start time, click the Reset button [6].

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 Allow Media Download toggle button on. By default, this option is turned off.

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

Click the Embed Media 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. The video or audio file may also include additional details available based on a user's role.

Timeline dots indicate comments added by a user [1].

To view the comments, click the Comments tab [2]. A comment then displays in the media player [3]. Comments are arranged chronologically by time and are highlighted as they appear in the media timeline.

Comments can also include replies from other users [4]. Studio displays the first five replies. However, if a comment includes more than five replies, you can load additional replies.

In the Details tab [1], you can view the following:

• Name of the video [2]
• Description [3]
• The profile picture (if supported) and name of the user who uploaded the media [4]
• The date the media was uploaded [5]
• Any tags associated with the media [6]

When media is added through the Rich Content Editor, the title of the media is created using the name of the uploaded file. If you uploaded the media, you can also edit the details of the media [7].

Users with instructor roles can view analytics for each video or audio file on a per-user basis. Analytics on the Insights tab can help instructors see if a user viewed the entire media file or skipped segments. This feature specifically helps instructors see if students sufficiently viewed the content in preparation for an assignment or discussion.
