Video Background

[LisaEiden-Dillo]

Can you add a background or blur filter to the audio/video feature in the Canvas LMS? Thank you.

Hi @LisaEiden-Dillo,

As far as I know, neither the Canvas RCE nor Canvas Studio currently offer the ability to blue or replace the background.  I'm not sure if your post was a question or if it was meant to be a feature request.  if you meant to request that such a feature be added to Canvas or Canvas studio, you can submit that request to the ideas area of the community.

Hope this helps a bit!

We need to be sensitive to privacy of faculty and students.  Can you investigate this further @chriscas   Thanks!

Hi @spo2,

Just for clarity, I am not an Instructure employee, I'm actually a Canvas administrator for a higher-ed institution.  I help people out in the community when I can, but I don't really have any influence at all on product.engineering decisions. 

The same advice I gave originally would still apply: If you'd like such a feature be added to Canvas or Canvas Studio, you can submit that request to the ideas area of the community. There is no guarantee Instructure will select a specific idea for development, but that process if the bets way to at least get the request in front of the right team.

Hope this helps!
