Issue
Users need to embed YouTube videos in Canvas pages without pasting in a raw URL.
Resolution
For accessibility, URLs should be embedded in unique and meaningful text. In order to properly embed a YouTube video in Canvas, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the YouTube video you wish to embed and click on the Share button underneath the video.
- Click on the Embed option, then Copy.
- Navigate to the Canvas page where you want to embed the video and open the Rich Text Editor.
- Click on the </> symbol under the Rich Text Editor panel, which will open the HTML editor view.
- Paste the embed code into the HTML in the location where you want the video to appear.
- Click the </> symbol again to return to the Rich Text Editor. You can adjust the text and other content around the embedded video.
