Open YouTube in a separate tab.
In Canvas, select Edit.
Place your cursor in the location you wish to have your video.
Locate the Embed icon which is indicated by a cloud icon and select it.
Switch to the YouTube window.
Locate the Share button under the video window.
Select the Embed button on the left side.
Select the Copy button to copy to iframe code.
Return to the Canvas page.
In the Embed modal window, paste the embed code from YouTube into the Embed Code field.
Select Submit.
Select Save to save your Canvas page.
