In Canvas Studio, display media tabs are sections associated with an embedded media file that provide additional information and features.
According to the provided reference, these tabs can include the Details, Comments, Insights, and Captions tabs. They offer ways for users to interact with or view supplementary data about the media content directly within the embedded player interface.
Understanding Media Tabs
When a media file is embedded in Canvas, having access to these tabs can enhance the user experience by offering:
- Details: Information about the media file itself.
- Comments: A space for discussion and feedback related to specific points in the video timeline.
- Insights: Analytics on media viewership.
- Captions: Access to or control over captions for accessibility.
Note: The specific set of tabs available might depend on the media settings and user permissions.
Controlling Visibility
Users can control whether these media tabs are visible or hidden. This is typically managed via a toggle setting.
- Display media tabs toggle: Clicking this toggle switches the visibility of the tabs on or off.
- Default Setting: The reference indicates that this display option may be set to either on or off by default, depending on the system configuration.
By default, an embedded media file might show these tabs below or alongside the video player, providing quick access to these features without leaving the page. Turning the toggle off would hide these sections, resulting in a cleaner view focused solely on the media player.
Controlling the visibility of these tabs allows instructors and students to customize their viewing environment and focus on the most relevant information or interactions for a given piece of media.
