The easiest way for teachers to play YouTube videos without ads is to add a dash ("-") between "youtube" and "com" in the video URL.
Here's a breakdown of how it works:
- The Trick: By adding a dash in the URL (e.g.,
youtube-com
), you bypass YouTube's usual ad serving mechanism. - How to Apply:
- Find the YouTube video you want to play.
- In the URL, insert a dash right after "youtube" and before "com". So,
www.youtube.com/watch?v=example
becomeswww.youtube-com/watch?v=example
. - Press Enter. The video should play without ads.
Note: This method may not work consistently long-term as YouTube could implement measures to block it.
