New Studio Library Layout
Users can access their personal videos, shared content and course collections from the updated navigation panel. This gives users a comprehensive view of their Library at a glance.
- On the My Library page, by default, the most recently uploaded media are displayed first.
- Shared media is in the Shared Library expandable section.
- Course collections are in the Course Collections expandable section.
List View
Users can view their Library in List View to view more content at once and reduce the need for scrolling.
To change the Library layout, click the List View icon. This selection will persist in the user's browser, allowing users to set their default view (grid or list) how they want.
New Filters
Users can filter by captioned media, media types, tags and date ranges.
- These filters display as labels [1] and can be easily removed to refine searches [2]. To remove all filters, click the Clear Filters link [3].
- Users can filter by media type (Studio content, Zoom, YouTube or Vimeo) [1], tags [2], captioning status [3] or upload date (users can select an "after" date [4] and a "before" date [5]).
- To apply any selected filters, users will click the Apply button [6].
- To switch between all courses or show only active ones, click the Eye icon. This selection will persist in the user's browser.
Bulk Action Addition
Users can use bulk actions to move multiple videos to a collection, delete multiple videos, or add tags. This feature allows users to save time while managing large quantities of Studio content.
To move, delete or add tags:
- Tick the checkbox next to the video [1].
- Click the Options icon [2] and then choose whether to Select All videos [3], Move to [4], Add Tags [5] or Delete [6].
Improved Content Search
The search functionality is updated to make finding and viewing videos easier. When users search for a video, they can instantly view its location in their Library.
Library Sorting Update
Users can sort collections and media separately using one of four sort options: Most recent date on top, oldest date on top, alphabetically A to Z, or alphabetically Z to A.
Adding New Collections
In the My Library navigation menu, users can click the Add icon to add a new collection.
Shared Content Update
When users interact with shared content, the name of the collection's owner is displayed at the top of the page.

Auto-Publishing Captions
Auto-publish settings allow users to run captioning and publishing automatically. This update simplifies the admin workflow by providing automatic functionality that allows instructors and students to select auto-publish settings for their own media.
In Canvas Studio settings, the Personal settings page allows users to easily manage personal user settings for captioning media and receiving email notifications.
Turn on the Enable Auto-Publish for Automatic Captions toggle to automatically publish captions as they're generated. (This option is only available if turned on by an administrator.)

Manage Picture-in-Picture Display
Google and Edge browser users with Screen Capture enabled can create a picture-in-picture window to display video from their webcam when sharing their entire screen.
In the Entire Screen tab, when Screen Sharing is initiated, the Enable camera window will display. To enable your camera and create the picture-in-picture display, click Yes.
By default, the picture-in-picture display appears in the lower right-hand corner of your browser. In the screenshot below, the numbers correspond to the bracketed numbers in the bullets below.
- To move the display, click and drag it to a new location [1].
- To resize the display, position your cursor at a corner of the window until the Resize cursor [2] appears. Click and drag to resize the window.
