Now that you've uploaded your video to YouTube, follow these steps to embed the YouTube video directly into a Canvas course to make it accessible to students:

Step 1: Navigate to Canvas and Access the Course

Log into Canvas and go to the course where you want to embed the video.

Step 2: Choose the Page or Module for Embedding

Go to Modules, Assignments, or Pages and select the area where you want the video to appear.

If creating a new page, click + Page and give it a relevant title.

Step 3: Edit the Page and Access the Rich Content Editor

Click Edit on the chosen page or module item to open the Rich Content Editor.

Step 4: Embed the YouTube Video

• In a new tab, go to the YouTube video you uploaded and click Share below the video.

• Select Embed and copy the embed code provided.

• Return to Canvas and in the Rich Content Editor, click Embed (or the < > icon) to paste the embed code directly into the content area.

• Alternatively, you can simply paste the YouTube URL, and Canvas will automatically embed the video.
