I could be mistaken (and I'd be happy to be corrected!), but from what I have discovered with New Analytics, there's not an easy way to track links from within a resource/assignment. While you can see who has viewed or participated, there isn't a way to see who has viewed the recording.
However, if your school has Canvas Studio, you can view students' progress through a video. It's a very clean-cut and looks beautiful alongside content. You could also introduce the EdPuzzle LTI. The school where I teach just recently adopted EdPuzzle with our movement to holding school online. My colleagues have been able to present EdPuzzle content (progress recording, skip preventing, and embedded questions) right within Canvas.
