We're also working with videos in a Canvas environment. Looks like you may need to set permissions in SharePoint so that users can view the video. The iframe (embed) code directs users to the location of the video but does not contain permissions for viewing it. These have to be set in SharePoint. So basically this is a two-pronged process: (1) grant viewing permissions in SharePoint to a specific individual or group and then (2) generate the embed code and add that to a Canvas page. Now those with permission will be able to view the video. All others will be told that they do not have access.
