Adding 3rd-Party Resources to Pages

Canvas makes it easy to add free, open-licensed content from various public collections without leaving your course space. This page will discuss the two buttons on the Rich Content Editor that we haven't discussed yet-- "Add YouTube Video" and "Search Public Collections".

Adding YouTube

You can easily search for and embed YouTube videos using the "YouTube" button in the Canvas Rich Content editor. Just click, search, and click the video you want.

Adding Content from Public Collections

You can also search through an ever-expanding selection of free, open-licensed learning materials using the "Search Public Collections" button in your Rich Content Editor.

First choose a service to search, then click its icon and search that resource.
