Securly allows students to access YouTube by embedding vidoes in PowerPoint.

Queried this with their technical support and this is the response.

 

Thanks for reaching out. The URL that facilitates YouTube videos being embedded into PowerPoint is 'hubblecontent.osi.office.net' Currently this is added to the embedded content allow list on your filtering instance. What this means is that currently all embedded YouTube videos in PowerPoint will be allowed.

 

The difficulty here is that this embedded content allow list is customer-specific and not user-specific meaning that it allows or blocks against a customer's entire filtering instance and it is unable to differentiate between Students and Staff. What this means is that we cannot change the use of YouTube on PowerPoint without affecting both Staff and Students.

 

As we can't address this directly an option would be to have a YouTube link in the PowerPoint which opens in a new tab so that staff can view it but then students would be blocked.
