Hi  @dmedrano  Welcome to the Canvas Community. There's two ways you can do this:

• Add it as an external link OR
• Add the link within a page that is added to the module

Personally, I think the second is better from a visual and learning perspective.  You can add a YouTube video to any page within the rich content editor, as covered here: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12922-415241508  It will appear on the page as a video frame, but better yet (again, my own opinion) is that since it is on a page, you can add a bit of description above it or really anything that you would like to say.

But the choice is entirely yours!  Both of the above will work.  I hope this helps, Daniel.
