  9. Select one of the options adjacent to the presentation you want to insert:

    Link Video simply inserts a text-based link containing the name of the presentation.

    Embed Video inserts an embedded player so the presentation can be viewed directly on the page.

    Note: If you see a warning label saying Private video, the presentation's visibility is currently set to Private, which may suggest you have not yet reviewed the video after uploading it. Once you have verified the video is ready for publication, select either the Link Video option or the Embed Video option to set your presentation's visibility to Viewable and insert it into the Canvas rich content editor.

  11. Publish your new page as well as your module in Canvas so students will be able to view them.
