New YouTube Integration in Studio Means No Ads
Starting this fall, YouTube videos embedded directly into Canvas will begin displaying ads. To keep course media distraction-free, Instructure is rolling out the YouTube Player for Education within Canvas Studio on September 1, 2025. Videos added to Studio will remain ad-free, with captions carried over automatically and new tools for analytics, quizzing, and content management. A step-by-step guide and migration tool are available to help faculty transition existing videos into Studio before the September 22 change.
