The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Video is a powerful teaching tool, and now Canvas Studio makes it even safer and more focused for K–20 learners. The YouTube Player for Education provides a distraction-free way to stream YouTube videos directly within Canvas, while protecting user privacy.
What’s new?
-
Integrated with Canvas Studio – Access YouTube videos seamlessly without leaving your LMS course environment.
-
Privacy-first experience – Viewers remain anonymous to YouTube through a “signed-out” state, protecting student data.
-
Distraction-free viewing – Videos play without recommendations, external links, or other YouTube distractions.
-
Accessible captions – YouTube captions remain available for all learners.
