SafeSearch / YouTube Safety on N4L

[kahuk...@gmail.com]

Can someone enlighten me as to how YouTube Safety mode works. Is it mandated that you can’t have YouTube Safety without SafeSearch and vice versa.

I’m working with a complaint that YouTube safety mode is much too limiting. I don’t really know where to start, it is a teacher making instructional videos for students, there is nothing rude about them but they say the safety mode makes it impossible for students to view these videos.

I know YouTube has an educational portal but Google made it really hard to set up.

YT-S and the education portal are different things - the education filter is not too hard to set up.  Once registered you need to add in the custom header that they give you.  In N4L it looks like this:

YT-S can be over-ridden by individual users.  When you are logged in as a Google user to YT use your account settings at the top right and go to "YouTube settings"

At the bottom of the setting screen you can permanently disable safety mode for the user:

As far as I know individual users have to make the change for themselves.

If are using GAFE, safety mode is controllable from the admin panel.

Device management > chrome management > user settings > content section

there are options to use safesearch without enforcing safety mode in youtube.
