Step-by-step Instructions to Record and Submit a Canvas Studio Video in a Canvas Assignment
If you are using your document camera to record your video, check to make sure that your document camera is plugged into the USB port of your computer!
Scroll down to the bottom of the assignment page and click the button for "Studio" [1], then click the "Record" button [2], then select "Webcam Capture" [3].
A window will pop up and display the video view. Choose which camera you want to use to record by clicking on the "Webcam" button [1], then selecting the appropriate camera [2]. (Choose your "Integrated Webcam" if you want to take a video of yourself, and choose "OKIOCAM S" if you want to take a video of your work.) Click the blue "Start Recording" button to start recording your video! [3]
Before you start recording, please make sure the video is well-lit so that your teacher can see the video, and that your work is centered in the video view!
When you are done, click the blue "Finish" button.
You can replay your video if you would like to see it. If you need a re-take, click the small "Start Over" button in the bottom right-hand corner of the window. If you are ready to submit, please give your video a clear title (an organized system for naming files can help you and your teacher) [1] and click the green "Save Media" button [2].
Please Note: When adding a title for your video, leave the file extension at the end. (i.e.: Do note change .mp4, .mov, .mpg, .mpeg, etc.) This may cause the video to not be visible to you and your teachers.
Your video might take a moment to upload-- you must make sure to wait for your video to fully upload and process, otherwise you might get an error for the assignment. After the upload and processing time is complete, hover your mouse over the video tile and click "Select."
Then, click the blue "Embed" button.
Finally, click on the blue "Submit Assignment" button!
