Comments on media

[CarlaPeterson]

It seems the comments option comes on automatically when I post a video. I do not want to use the comment option but cannot find a way to hide it.

Hi there, @CarlaPeterson ...

Are you referring to the "Display media tabs" toggle switch which you can turn on/off when embedding a Studio video into a course content page of your course...as described in this Guide?  (Look under the heading "Display or Hide Media Tabs".)

At the Canvas administrator level, there are two options available that can be toggled on/off.  They are:

• Auto-enable Media Tabs when embedding to a Canvas course
  • Automatically enable Media Tabs, this option can be changed at the time of embedding.
• Auto-enable commenting for Studio submissions
  • Automatically enable commenting for Studio submissions, this option can be changed at the time of embedding.

These are covered in the Guide: How do I manage Canvas Studio embed default settin... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).

I wonder if you might want to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator to discuss these settings.  Keep in mind that any changes to these settings would apply to all courses/instructors at your school and not just your courses.

I hope this will help in some way.  Let Community members know if you have any questions...thanks!
