 Canvas API Reference (obs_canvas_t)
 ===================================
 
+.. danger::
+
+   Canvases are still in their early stages of implementation and the API will evolve as they are gradually integrated
+   across OBS Studio.
+
+   The Canvas API should be considered **unstable** and may be changed without warning. This documentation serves to aid
+   in their iterative development within OBS Studio.
+
+   **If you are developing a plugin that utilizes canvases, proceed with great caution.**
+
 Canvases are reference-counted objects that contain scenes and define how those are rendered.
 They provide a video object which can be used with encoders or raw outputs.
