Currently YouTube is having issues with Google, however, our filter vendor M86 is working on a fix. We have found small success with a couple of strategies.
1. Have the user log out of their google account and then browse to YouTube for the video, without Google launched the video might play.
2. A second options is to use Google presentations and embed the video in the presentation. Here are the steps to do this:
- Insert a Blank Slide
- Using the Insert Menu
- Select Video
- Browse YouTube for your video
Go to present mode and your video might work. Neither of these is a permanent fix however, option 2 does remove the ads. We are continuing to look for a solution that is more permanent including the possibility of YouTube for Schools.
