YouTube - Sign-in so prove you're not a bot

[Techie-Tech]

Has anyone else been getting this recently?

 

We have schools that cannot access YouTube atm.

Stop YouTube asking for sign in when using Edge.

Having the same problem - we are a Google School and are getting the message when trying to access embeded videos in Google Slides. 4G seems to work fine.

We use Smoothwall so have contacted them to see what they say.

Anyone managed to fix this issue yet? We are a Google School and experiencing the same with embedded videos. We use Sophos for firewall and content filtering.

Still having the same issue at my school. Google seems to be investigating still acording to the support ticket that I have open with them.

 

They suggested that it could be due to loads of students (more than 15) going to the same website at once from the same IP address. Which would be a lot of IT lessons etc.

We have just started to see this in school, no access to YouTube unless signed in. Staff can sign in if needed as we also sync to Google as well as 365. Students we only sync to 365. Has anybody found a way to not have to sign in to watch a video?

Also having this problem with our site - currently using Smoothwall.

 

I'll give them a call and see what they say.
