Canvas Studio allows you to manage Studio media. You can view, share, and comment on any uploaded video or audio media file, and instructors are able to embed media within their courses. Media editing and management features are also available, and you can edit media, view insight analytics and add captioning. 

The Canvas Studio Media Player supports keyboard shortcuts. View the Studio Media Player Keyboard Shortcuts document.
