[ARCHIVED] Video for course is gone!

[misakson4]

I have taught a Canvas online course since 2015. Each module has a media demonstration of the skill I am teaching for that module. A student just contacted me to say that the video demonstration for a module is unavailable. Sure enough, the link does not work though it has for six years for every section until now. I checked other sections. It says "Video unavailable" there, too. The YouTube link gives the same message. What should I do?

I have been unable to find a Guide that addresses this issue.

Who originally created and posted the video on Youtube? When I get a message like "Video unavailable," it usually means that the owner of the video has removed it from YouTube or restricted access. The only way to guarantee that a video will always be available is to make your own.
