🎬 Discover The New Studio Library Experience! (+Video)

[AkosFarago]

We are happy to announce a fresh new look for your Studio Media Library, launching January 6th, 2025.  This release will be packed with improvements and new tools to make managing your videos easier than ever, and it will prepare us to accelerate some of the upcoming enhancements we are working on:

• The ability to archive and delete media content at the user and account levels
• Pinning videos for quicker access
• Institution-wide video libraries accessible to everyone at an institution

These improvements will empower Canvas Studio users to more effectively manage their media content, whether at scale at the enterprise level or for day-to-day video learning.  Keep your eyes out for additional updates about these enhancements, as well as other video quizzing enhancements coming throughout 2025.

We want to give you plenty of time to adjust to the new Library experience. That’s why, until the end of March 2025, you can opt-out of this change by going to Settings in Studio and using the toggle under the Interface section - as demonstrated at the end of the video below.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions - I’m more than happy to help!

Best,

Hi @AkosFarago!

I am looking forward to these! Great work by you and your team!

For the "Media Type" filter, will there be a way to filter by video content that was created using "Screencast-o-Matic" or "Studio Capture"?

For the "Media Type" filter, will there be an option for audio content?

Thank you!

Can you please make sure that all of this is documented in the list of Canvas Studio Releases at https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Studio-Releases/tkb-p/studio-release?

Can you provide some detail about the "Institution-wide video libraries" mentioned in the text above the video? I didn't see that explained in the video itself, but that's a function I've been hoping for in Studio for quite a while now...

@dbrace, release notes will be published today, or at the latest on Monday! For the time being, all uploaded media and recordings (both Screencast-o-matic and Studio Capture) will be considered as Studio content. We will monitor usage and feedback and if this needs to be further split up.

@dgray, institution-wide video libraries are coming later in 2025, that's why it was not explained further in the video. This is going to be another space where you can share and access video content and is available for a greater audience. It might be configurable by Administrators so there is a space for everyone at the institution, another one for all educators etc. Let us reach out to you when we explore this solution (possibly around summer), we would be happy to hear your feedback!
