How do I embed a YouTube video in a Canvas Page and link it in a Module?
All Canvas account holders (instructors / staff / students) can embed a YouTube video into any Canvas text box (Announcements / Pages / Syllabus / Assignments / Discussions / Quizzes). This example demonstrates embedding a YouTube video in a Canvas Page.
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

The displays the results of the YouTube search
To the right of the YouTube Video you want to embed in the Page, click Embed

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).
