Introduction

Canvas is a leading learning management system (LMS) powering any video experience for many organizations.

A number of Verbit customers utilize Canvas to manage their video content and request for captioning, especially those in the Education and Entertainment verticals.

Verbit supports integration with Canvas to automate caption requests for our customers using the service.

This integration requires a customer an admin account in the Verbit platform and a Canvas account.
