Why Integrate SWC Zoom Workplace with Canvas Studio?

Are you an instructor that uses Zoom Workplace to record presentations? Or perhaps you record class sessions and provide the link to students for later viewing? Currently, there is no way to embed a Zoom recording into Canvas without additional steps, such as uploading the video to a third-party platform such as YouTube or 3C Media.

Good news! Connecting your SWC Zoom Workplace account to Canvas Studio allows for Zoom recordings to automatically appear in Canvas Studio. This allows instructors the ability to easily embed those recordings on Canvas Pages. Studio also has very robust captioning options for both the editor as well as the end user.
