Issue/Question
- Video.link is blocked for students.
Resolution
Video.link is a YouTube proxy that embeds the YouTube videos on their site. This website is blocked because students have used this website as a work around our filter policies and it essentially opens up all of YouTube for students, including mature and adult content. The work around would be to click the copy link button in the video.link video, check that it is unblocked by our web filter, and then share the actual YouTube link instead of the video.link URL.
- On the video on the video.link website, press the "Copy link"
- A YouTube link will be added to your computer's clipboard.
- Confirm that YouTube has been marked as education.video on the Lightspeed Systems' Archive site. Detailed directions.
- Paste the link into Canvas or any other method to share the link with students.
