1. Log into YouTube:
- Ensure you are logged into your educational tools account by clicking on your profile picture at the top right corner.
-
2. Access YouTube Studio:
- Click on "YouTube Studio" from the options available. If your account still uses the "Creator Studio," the process should be similar, although YouTube is transitioning everyone to YouTube Studio.
-
3. Navigate to Your Videos:
- Once in YouTube Studio, click on the "Videos" button on the left navigation bar to view all your videos.
-
4. Edit Video Settings:
- To edit a video, click on the pencil icon (Details) next to the video you wish to edit.
-
5. Change Thumbnail (Optional):
- If you don't like the automatically selected thumbnail, you can upload a custom JPEG or graphic image to represent your video better.
-
6. Specify Audience:
- Due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), you must indicate whether your video is made for kids or not. Make your selection accordingly.
-
7. Select Visibility:
- Choose "Unlisted" for educational videos. "Public" makes it searchable to everyone, and "Private" restricts viewing to subscribers only. Unlisted is the recommended setting for educational content within the Peninsula School District.
-
8. Disable Comments and Ratings:
- It's advised to disable comments to prevent unmonitored discussions on your video. Additionally, disable the option for viewers to see ratings to avoid displaying public opinions on educational content.
-
9. Save Changes:
- Remember to click the "Save" button if you've made any changes to the settings.
