Enforcing YouTube for Schools

1. Click “On” to enable YouTube for Schools Enforcement.
2. In Unique School ID for YouTube Access, enter the unique school ID key obtained from YouTube for your school account. When finished, click Apply.

Notes:

When YouTube for Schools Enforcement is enabled, the Approved Content (incl.VuSafe) feature set up in the Policy tree must be disabled.  This is due to the fact that YouTube for Schools Enforcement requires YouTube to be unblocked, while Approved Content (incl. VuSafe) requires YouTube to be blocked.
