Canvas Quick Student View Extension

Install to add the Student View link – visible as a \"spectacles\" icon – on every page at the top right (in the \"crumbs\" navigation pane) in the Canvas LMS. Enables quick toggling between Student View and regular view without extra navigation.

NOTE: as of its December 19, 2020 release, Canvas implements its own built-in Student View link on most pages. This extension now is preset to become hidden on pages where the built-in link is shown, but other options can be selected (see Options page for more info).

This extension ONLY works with Canvas URLs of the following types:

https://*.instructure.com/*
http://*.instructure.com/*
https://canvas.gu.se/*

For other URL formats, use Canvas Quick Student View (any host), link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/canvas-quick-student-view/hlhfhggndbcoolimgcohdegdfpcbphhj

Brian Ash (ID: 00000057c22cab67) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/30/2020 Easily switch to student view in Canvas. Normally, you would have to go to Home, then Student View, then find the page that you wanted to view - very tedious. This extension lets you just click the glasses icon on any page, and instantly switch into student view. Awesome! Thank you!
