The final example of adding video into Canvas is through the Studio Media Library.

There are a series of guides you can access on Studio that go through:

the file formats Studio supports
how to upload media
how to embed media to your Canvas course site
how to add captions
how to add comments and manage comments in Studio
how to view student analytics in Studio

Where to upload your media

You may be unsure where to upload your media (video and audio) in Canvas as there are two different areas you have access to. Upload any course media into the Studio Media Library within the Canvas course site [ 2 ]. This ensures the media is accessible to staff (current and in future iterations of the course) as the media is located within the Canvas course area. It is suggested not to use your personal Studio area [ 1 ] that is in the global navigation bar as only you will have access to the media in this area.
