To maintain a distraction-free learning environment for our students, we will be disabling the dedicated YouTube LTI App on December 30, 2025. This decision is based on changes from Google/YouTube that will cause existing and new videos added through older methods to start displaying ads.
Use Canvas Studio
The recommended and best practice moving forward is to use Canvas Studio to embed YouTube videos. Canvas Studio implemented the YouTube Player for Education. This guarantees that any videos you add through Studio will be ad-free and provide a secure, signed-out viewing experience for students, ensuring maximum focus on instruction.
