Insert the Code: Copy the modified embed code and paste it into the HTML of your webpage or platform where you want the video to appear.

Log into YouTube: Ensure you are logged into your educational tools account by clicking on your profile picture at the top right corner. 2.

Disable Autoplay Go to the watch screen of any video. At the bottom of the video player, click the Autoplay switch to set it to On or Off . YouTube Privacy Settings When uploading a video to YouTube, you can change the privacy settings for that video to Public, Private, or Unlisted. Public is the default setting and that means anybody can see your video. Private means only those you invite to view the video can view it (they must have their own Youtube accounts and the maximum number is 50 usernames). Your video will not come up under any search results or your channel list. If you try to share it with someone who wasn’t invited, they will not be able to connect to it. Unlisted means your video will not come up in search results or on your channel either.  Only those who know the link can view it, and you can share the link with anyone, even those who do not have a YouTube account/username. This means that this video could still be seen by anyone, but only if they guess the link! If your video is already uploaded, go to your video manager under the drop down menu and you can change the privacy settings for each video as well as DELETE your videos permanently. Restricted Mode YouTube Restricted Mode filters out inappropriate or offensive content. It can effectively restrict mature or objectionable videos kids may come into contact when using the platform.  YouTube attempts to limit the amount of harmful content that is posted to their platform with a set of “Common Sense Rules” in their Community Guidelines. YouTube has strict content policies which cover content relating to nudity, hate speech, graphic violence, or dangerous acts.  Restricted Mode Levels: Strict (Elementary and Middle Schools) —This setting is the most restrictive. Strict Mode does not block all videos, but works as a filter to screen out many videos based on an automated system, while leaving some videos still available for viewing. Moderate (High Schools) — This is similar to Strict Mode but makes a much larger collection of videos available. Staff are set to 'Can approve videos' — In the event a channel or video that provides legitimate educational material is blocked by Restricted Mode, Staff can mark it approved. An unapproved video that may be blocked by Restricted Mode: An unapproved channel that may be blocked by Restricted Mode: Notice both of the above have an 'Approve' button. If unsure if a channel or video is blocked, you can send a direct link to a student to test. We are not able to maintain a list of approved / blocked YouTube channels.

MP4 files are recommended for their compatibility. Video Details: Title and Description: Fill in a concise and descriptive title.

Privacy Settings: Set your video to "Unlisted" to ensure it's accessible only through a direct link or embedded code, maintaining privacy and control. Thumbnail: YouTube automatically generates a thumbnail, but you have the option to upload a custom one that better represents your video. Advanced Settings: Audience: Indicate whether the video is made for kids, following COPPA guidelines. Select "Yes" for educational content aimed at children. Comments and Ratings: Disable comments to maintain control over feedback and prevent unwanted interactions. Also, consider disabling ratings (likes/dislikes) for educational videos.

Once published, you'll receive a URL for the video. Sharing Your Video Embedding in Educational Platforms: Copy the provided URL to embed the video directly into educational platforms like Schoology. This method keeps students within the digital learning environment, eliminating the need to navigate away from the platform.

Adjust the video size as needed for better visibility. Managing Your Video Access your video management dashboard by clicking on your profile and selecting "YouTube Studio." Here, you can view all your uploaded videos, see their status (e.g., unlisted), and edit details if necessary.
