The steps below outline the methods to add YouTube content while ensuring it's viewable for students on the various devices they use to access Canvas.  YouTube videos that are embedded with the method below will NOT need to be approved.  Canvas now works with our Internet filter (as long as the video is embedded). This method works for students using iPads and MacBooks. Videos still need to be approved to play on student Chromebooks.
