Now that you have uploaded your video to YouTube, you will need to go to your YouTube account and change the settings on your video. Specifically, you need to select the audience in the video details page as "No, it's not made for kids" in order for your video to be fully available on YouTube. See the steps below for finding your video in your account and changing those settings. You will also need to copy and paste your video title in preparation for embedding it into Canvas.
Quick Tip:
If you are unfamiliar with how to locate your video from your YouTube account, follow these steps:
Step 1: From your Google Gmail page, click the Google Apps icons ( 9 dots in a square) and from the drop down menu, scroll down and select the YouTube icon.
Step 2: From your YouTube home page, you will go to the left side menu and select "Your Videos."
Step 3: You will now see your "Channel content" page. From here, simply double click on the video you wish to insert.
Step 4: From the video details page, you will need to answer the question under "audience" about age restriction before your video is available on YouTube. Select "No, it's not made for kids." Then click "Save."
Step 5: From the same video details page, you can find the video link in the right hand column. Double click to open your YouTube video. You will copy the exact name of your video (not the link) to paste into the search for Canvas.

The last step of sharing your video with your students is to embed your YouTube link into your Canvas course on the page you want students to see it. You've probably inserted YouTube videos into your Canvas course before and this is no different. Be sure you have copied the title (not the link) of your video from YouTube as you will need to paste it into the YouTube search in Canvas. For a quick review, check out my video below. Don't forget to select "student view" after you've finished inserting your video to ensure students see the page as you would like it to look.
