I use a lot of videos from YouTube in the resources I curate, create and share with our students and teachers, and others. Today, my new friend, Jamie Palmer, wrote me to share a little tip with me.
Jamie wrote,
When you grab a link from a YouTube video, all you have to do is add a "-" (dash) after the "t" in YouTube and it will provide the video with no ads or sidebar videos. I thought this might be of interest to you when adding youtube links on anything you create for your kiddos!
I was so excited and couldn't wait to give it a try!
I went to one of the Kodable coding videos I added to the coding choice boards. I clicked on the link and added the "-" after the "t" in YouTube.
When I clicked on the video, it opened up to...
...a full-screen with just the video, no ads and sidebar videos. It worked!
Click here to give it a try too.
Thank you Jamie for sharing this little tip. I will be using this one from now on when I share videos and can't wait to share it with my teacher friends and students at Van Meter too.
