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.

In Canvas Studio's Settings panel, the Personal tab is selected. Under that page's Captioning heading, the Enable Auto-Captioning feature is toggled on, while the Enable Auto-Publish for Automatic Captions feature is toggled off.
 

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.)

Studio Global Navigation Redesign

Studio Global Navigation is redesigned to be more consistent with Instructure and Canvas design. This update helps align aesthetics and workflows between Instructure products.

Canvas Studio's navigation bar has tabs for My Library (selected), Shared with Me, Course Collections (has a drop-down icon), Admin (has a drop-down icon) and Settings.
 

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.

The Enable camera pop-up window asks the user whether they'd like to enable their camera during full screen recording. The Yes button is circled.
 

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.
  • During recording, the picture-in-picture display can be displayed or hidden at any time. To close it, click the Close icon [3].
The picture-in-picture display appears in the lower right-hand corner of a user's screen. Three numbers have been added to the image: 1 refers to a general location within the picture-in-picture window; 2 refers to the resize-window cursor that appears when hovering over a corner of the picture-in-picture window; 3 refers to the small X icon in the upper-right corner of the picture-in-picture window.
