You may want to record videos, but not have them immediately available to your students.

Here's how:

1. Within the Class Recordings of your Canvas site, create a folder called "Not Available to Students".

2. When you are ready to make the recording available to students, move it from the "Not Available to Students" folder into the main "Class Recordings" of your Canvas site.
