Canvas Student, Screen Recording with Studio

How to Use the Screen Recorder in Canvas Studio

Getting Started with Canvas Studio

• The tutorial begins by instructing students to log into Canvas and navigate to the "Studio" section on the left side of the interface.

• Users can upload videos, screen record, or link YouTube videos within their studio.

Installing Screen Recording Software

• Upon initiating a screen recording for the first time, users will be prompted to download necessary software; this process may seem inactive initially.

• It is essential to use Google Chrome for downloading and installing the screen recording software without needing a password from teachers.

Launching the Screen Recorder

• After installation, users must return to Canvas Studio and select "Record Screen Capture" again; they may need to confirm opening the screen recorder.

• Users should ensure that Google Chrome is not maximized for proper functionality; checkered lines will indicate that the screen recorder is active.

Configuring Recording Settings

• Users can choose audio input options (e.g., Bluetooth microphones or built-in computer mics), as well as decide whether to record just their webcam or both webcam and screen.

• A countdown precedes recording, allowing users time to prepare before capturing content from their favorite websites.

Editing and Uploading Videos

• After recording, users have options to edit (cut, blur out sections, add text), or finalize by hitting "Done."

• Once uploaded, videos are processed in Canvas Studio where features like quizzes and captions can be added.

Sharing Your Video

• Users can generate links for sharing their video submissions with teachers or peers while managing permissions for viewing/editing rights.

• All recorded videos are accessible within Canvas Studio for future assignments.
