If you need to have a Youtube video available to students during school hours, and have it available in your Canvas course, there are a few steps to follow.

First, send a link to the video to Janetta Garton so that it can be added to the "approved list" for our Youtube educational channel.

Second, add the video to your course in one of two ways:

1) as a link in page with no inline preview or

2) as a URL item in a module that is set to open in a new tab.

In both cases the URL for the video must include just http and not https. It must be the full www.youtube.com url and not the shortened version (youtu.be). Watch this short video screencast modeling these two options.
