This is part 2 of a 4 part video on setting up a live online collaboration space using Google Drive (Slides or Drawing as a white board), Youtube Live Event (Hangouts on Air for video conferencing) session, and embedding the Event in a Canvas Calendar Event.  

After setting up your collaboration documents in Google Drive, we used Google Drawing or a blank slide in Google Slides to serve as a whiteboard, next you need to set up the Youtube Live Event for video conferencing.

1. Log in to Youtube, and enter the Creator Studio

2. Click the drop down arrow under Live Stream, and click Events
Create a new event for each session you plan to hold, and fill in the details

3. Open each event and click the Share icon to copy the link or embed code for scheduled video stream in Canvas

4. In Canvas, I created a Calendar event for the video conference. Making sure the event is going into the right Course calendar, click More Options.
In More Options you have a standard Canvas  content editor.  
Click HTML view and paste the embed code.
Returning the to the visual editor you can add all the information that you think is necessary, such as link for joining the Hangout session instead of just watching it.
You might like to add Canvas Pages to the event.
Do this for each session you have planned.
