    Core Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Adding Videos to Studio<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To upload a video to Studio, you can simply drag and drop<\/strong> the file directly into the upload area from your desktop. This method is fast and intuitive, supporting most common file formats such as MP4, MOV and WMV (up to 4GB). Alternatively, you can click \u201cAdd\u201d<\/strong> within Studio to browse for files manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This process ensures your videos are uploaded directly into your personal Studio library, ready for embedding in courses or sharing with students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Embedding Videos into Modules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Once a video is uploaded to Studio, you can embed it into a Canvas Module by following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Navigate to Modules<\/strong> in your Canvas course.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Select the “+”<\/strong> button next to the module where you want to add the video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Choose Studio<\/strong> as the item type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Select your video and click Add Item<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      The video will appear in the module as a standalone resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Embedding Videos on Pages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      To embed a Studio video within a Canvas Page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. Click the Studio<\/strong> icon in the editor toolbar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Select your video and click Embed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Save the Page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        This allows you to include video content directly alongside text, images, or links for a more integrated learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Managing Media Tags<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Studio gives you the option to enable or disable media tagging<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
