• In a Document: Add a new content block and select Audio/Video.

2. Select a Recording Method

Once you're in the Audio/Video content block, you have several options:

• 📷 Camera: Record video using your webcam.
• 🎙️ Audio: Record audio only using your microphone.
• 💻 Screen: Record your computer screen.
• 🧑‍💻 Audio & Screen: Record your screen with voice-over narration.

You can use the dropdown menus to select which camera, microphone, or screen you want to use if you have multiple devices connected. 

Note:

• If you select Camera or Audio, the Screen button will be unavailable.
• If you select Screen or Audio & Screen, the Camera button will be unavailable.

3. Record and Save

• Click Start Recording. A three-second countdown will appear before the recording begins.
• During the recording, you can pause, resume, or end the session.
• After the recording, you can retake recording.

• Once you end the recording, it will begin to upload. While it's processing, you can preview the video and edit the title.
• Click Save to add the recording to your course.

To edit a video's title later, simply click the three dots in the course content page and then click Edit. Once the sidebar opens you can edit the title there. This sidebar also allows you to Edit Video, Replace File and add a Description.

If an Upload Fails

Don't worry! If a file fails to upload, you can easily try again by clicking Retry upload in the top right corner or the Retry button next to the progress bar.

One of Video Studio's best features is its automated accessibility tools. Captions and transcripts are automatically generated for every recording. The system can even identify and label up to 30 different speakers!

How to Edit Captions and Transcripts

If the automated transcript has minor errors, you can easily correct them.

1. Select Edit Content on the document containing the video.

If on the Course Content level, select the three dots of the video label and click Edit.

2. Hover your cursor over the video and click the pencil icon that appears.

3. Select the Transcript tab.

4. Click the pencil icon next to the line of text or speaker name you want to change. Make your edits and click the checkmark to confirm.

5. When you're finished, click Save Video. Your changes will be reflected in both the captions and the transcript.

How to Download Transcripts

To download a copy of the transcript:

1. Play the video and click the transcript button at the bottom of the player.
2. In the transcript panel that opens, click the download icon at the top.
3. The transcript will be downloaded as a VTT file, which includes timestamps and speaker labels.

Both you and your students have full control over how captions and transcripts are displayed.

• To turn captions on or off: Click the captions (CC) button in the video player's progress bar.
• To view or hide the transcript: Click the transcript button next to the captions button.

The transcript's display adapts to the video size. For larger video displays, the transcript will appear in-line next to the video. For smaller displays, it will open in full-screen mode for easier reading.
