How to approve a youtube video
Youtube Video Approval
By default all youtube videos accessed on your school network are filtered. If you would like to have students watch a video that you feel is appropriate follow the instructions below.
Be sure to preview all videos you approve in their entirety. Youtube videos often contain inappropriate content which is why they are being filtered in the first place.
If you are previewing videos for use in the classroom you can approve them as you research. If you approve a video that has content not suitable for students, make sure after you discover this to click the box under the video that says “remove”. Otherwise the video will remain open for all students.
