One of the questions I hear most often in EdTech is, 'How can I show YouTube videos without ads, comments and a sidebar of suggested next videos?'
There are a lot of tricks out there. Some that work π and some that don't π. The two that seem to be a surefire hack are:
- embedding the YouTube video into Google Slides
- AND adding a - between the 't' and the 'u' in the web address, for example:
https://www.yout-ube.com/watch?v=4RZEWsij7aE. (That's a good one by the way, you should watch it π!!)
HOWEVER, I just recently discovered an even BETTER solution: Kindu TV! Creating a FREE Teacher account in Kindu TV gives you access to:
πΊ 15,000+ YouTube educational videos vetted by teachers for primary education
πΊ Unlimited video views
πΊ Unlimited bookmarks
πΊ Unlimited custom collections AND
πΊ Up to 10 YouTube videos that you choose and add per month.
So how exactly does this work?
3️⃣ Start searching or filtering for videos you already use in the classroom. Add them to bookmarks and collections. (You have unlimited for both!)
4️⃣ Add YouTube links that aren't part of Kindu TV - up to π a month for the π account
✅That's it! You are ready to show YouTube videos π«ads, π«comments, and π«next video suggestions.
π₯ Just a friendly reminder, all YouTube videos (even those in the Kindu TV Library) must be 'APPROVED' by a Teacher account in Keller ISD to be available for students to view.
