There are two options for screen recording in Canvas, the traditional Screencast-o-matic and Studio Capture. Studio Capture integrates with your existing webcam and eliminates the need to download a separate screen capture product.
Studio Capture is optimized for Full-HD recordings, with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It performs best when your screen matches or is below this resolution. If your screen has a higher resolution, you may experience performance issues during recording or a decrease in video quality.
