How do I record a Canvas Studio video using a webcam?
You can record a video using your webcam in Canvas Studio. Videos can be recorded from any page in your account. You can record media for any length of time, but shorter video recordings under 5 minutes long are recommended due to browser resource limitations.
Notes:
- Studio webcam capture is only supported by Chrome and Firefox browsers. If you use an unsupported browser, Studio will prompt you to switch browsers.
- You may need to allow the browser to access your camera and microphone.
- Studio webcam capture creates a webM video.
- For more information about how screen readers work with recording a video in Studio, please visit Accessibility within Studio.
- If you are using an iOS or iPad iOS device, you cannot record a video directly in Canvas Studio using a webcam. Instead, you can record the video using your device's webcam application and upload the video as a media file.
