Whitelist YouTube videos or channel


Staff members that are designated as Google Admins have the ability to whitelist YouTube videos and channels. Whitelisted content will only play if students and staff are logged into their school google account. By default, anyone not logged in, or using a personal Google account, will only see content approved by Google that is considered safe for students.
