Canvas Studio in-quiz submission limitations
Issue
Quizzes created using Canvas Studio currently allow for unlimited submissions, without the option to limit the number of times a student may submit their answers. Additionally, Canvas Studio video quizzes use the highest-scoring submission as the overall grade.
Status
Canvas has addressed these concerns in their 2025 roadmap. By the second quarter of 2025, Canvas plans to implement the following changes for Canvas Studio:
- Educators will be able to limit the number of attempts students can make on video quizzes.
- With new question types and an improved video quiz builder, teachers will create more engaging video content for students.
For more information about in-video quizzing options within Canvas, please see Canvas Studio and PlayPosit In-Video Quizzing Recommendations.
Migrated Kaltura Content is not automatically captioned in Canvas Studio
Issue
Kaltura content migrated to Canvas Studio does not have automatic captioning enabled.
Workaround
The owner of the Canvas Studio must enable automatic captioning for each video as needed and publish it when completed. After enabling automatic captions, it will take time until captions are complete and ready for review. Please refer to the Canvas Studio KB page for instructions on how to enable automatic captioning.
