If your school or district has the need for students to not have access to YouTube, we do have two suggestions for your IT director, yourself, or a colleague that has access to your school's Google Admin Console in order to upload a file that will allow the site to be blocked.
- access the Screencastify Apps & extensions Management page in your Google Admin Console
- upload your custom configurations in a .json file
Access the Screencastify Apps page in your Google Admin Console
There are a handful of settings in Screencastify that you can enable, disable or customize centrally.
From this page, you can upload your custom configurations in a .json file.
Please see the custom configuration below. ⬇️
To block your student's from uploading to YouTube 📺
Once you are on the extensions management page, you can enable this config:
{
"disableSharing": {"Value": true},
"options": {
"Value": {
"driveSync": true
}
}
}
NOTE
To download the file, click here: Download .json file
If this is enabled, users won't be able to publish their recordings directly to YouTube from within Screencastify. This config also stores recordings on Google Drive.
