Approving YouTube Videos to Watch

If you clicked on a video link in YouTube (or your students) that you cannot watch, it is because it has not been approved. All staff has the ability to approve YouTube videos for students use as long as they are logged into YouTube with their school email address.

Here the directions on how to approve a YouTube video to watch by Howe ISD teachers and students:

1. If you click on a YouTube video that says "this video is restricted" that means you are not logged into your Howe ISD Google account. You will need to login to YouTube.com with your Howe ISD google account (Howe ISD email and current computer password) and approve these videos ahead of time for your students to watch them or to show them in class for the students to watch. If you click on the "Approve" button while signed in, it will add to the list of approved videos for our organization.

2. Please note that students will also need to be logged into their Howe ISD Google account to watch the approved videos as well. (Howe ISD email and 6-digit lunch number as the password). If students are not logged in, they will not be able to watch any video on YouTube.
