SCHOOL MANAGER

Whitelist Specific YouTube videos

YouTube can be a powerful learning tool, but also a big distraction for students.

Schools can now block YouTube on a global level with School Manager, but have the power to whitelist (unblock) specific YouTube videos.

FOR IT STAFF: This new feature also allows IT Staff to create filtering rules that support objects with wildcards (YouTube requires SSL certificates to be installed and/or the Chrome extension).
