YouTube https://www.youtube.com
Your Canvas shells have limited storage space. Video files are large and should not be stored inside Canvas course shells. YouTube is an option for hosting your videos. If you have a Google or Gmail account, then you already have a YouTube account! It is the most popular video hosting site, and it generates automated captions that can be edited for improved accuracy. YouTube videos can be embedded or linked to from Canvas courses.
