Go to Pages

Add a New Page

Place your cursor in the Canvas text box and click on the "App" icon (which looks like a small electrical plug)

Note: if your screen is reduced in size, you may have to click on "More" (3 vertical dots) to locate the "APP" icon

Click YouTube

Enter your Search criteria and click Enter

The displays the results of the YouTube search

To the right of the YouTube Video you want to embed in the Page, click Embed

This embeds the video and returns the display to the Canvas text box.

Click "Save & Publish"

This saves the Canvas Page with the embedded video.

Note: The example above is a Canvas Pages text box. YouTube videos can be embedded into any Canvas text box  (Announcements / Pages / Syllabus / Assignments / Discussions / Quizzes).
