SpeedGrader: Studio Media Comment Screen Capture and Auto Captioning

In SpeedGrader, the Studio media recorder is introduced for screen capture and captioning. This update enhances the clarity of instructor feedback and improves accessibility by providing a streamlined user experience.

When creating a media comment in SpeedGrader, click the Screen Capture drop-down menu [1] and then select Enabled [2] to screen record. Captioning is auto-enabled for voiceovers. 

The Studio screen capture and captioning features for media comments are only available in SpeedGrader. Additionally, the recorder is only available in Chrome and Edge. Currently, there are no plans to introduce support for Firefox and Safari in the recorder.
