About Recording a Video in Canvas Studio

You can record a video with Canvas Studio using with your webcam, screen capture, or both at the same time. You can record media for any length of time, but shorter video recordings under 5 minutes long are recommended due to browser resource limitations

Record Your Webcam in Studio

Notes:

Studio webcam capture is only supported by Chrome and Firefox browsers. If you use an unsupported browser, Studio will ask you to switch browsers.
You may need to allow the browser to access your camera and microphone.
