Tech Trick Tuesday: Quiet YouTube Videos (A Blank Page With Only The Video)


Tech Problem:  A common frustration for staff who utilize YouTube videos is the content, comments, ads, etc. that come along with these videos...

Tech Trick - Quiet YouTube

Presenting Quiet YouTube, a blank page that will only display your video.

How to use: 
Take a YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy0m7jnyv6U and put the word 'quiet' in front of YouTube.com: http://www.quietyoutube.com/watch?v=Uy0m7jnyv6U The link goes to a page generated by this site. Your video will be sitting (ready and waiting to be played) and will have no ads, comments, etc. surrounding it from YouTube.

**An odd message (see below) may appear when attempting to utilize quiet YouTube. If you click "advanced," an option will appear below allowing you to continue to the website. You can also simply delete the striked out https:// at the beginning of the url and click "enter" and your video will be ready and waiting.


Safety Mode:
YouTube also offers a Safety Mode feature for viewing as well! To learn more go to:
