Embedding Videos
You may want to embed videos on a webpage or in a Canvas course. This is easy to do! I'm going to demonstrate locating the embed code in both YouTube and Vimeo and then embedding a video into Canvas.
First, navigate to the video you want to embed and locate the "Share" button.
On Vimeo:
On YouTube:
When you click that button, a pop-up window will give you different sharing options. Locate the "Embed" option. In Vimeo, copy this code. In YouTube, click the "Embed" button. Note that on YouTube you have the option to begin your selection at a timestamp if you check the box at the bottom of the pop-up window and set a time.

For YouTube videos, click the "Copy" button at the bottom of the video pop-up – this will copy all of the code so you don't need to highlight it.
Next, navigate to the Canvas Page or Assignment where you want to embed the video – you can embed a video on any Canvas item that has a content editor box.
Paste the code you copied into the pop-up box and click the "Submit" button.
Don't forget to click "Save" at the bottom of the Canvas Page or Assignment once you're done!
