Since this video is CC licensed, it is safe to use in your work.
You will often see a Standard YouTube license on videos which allows you to use it in your course by linking or embedding the YouTube video, but you are not allowed to make derivative works by downloading or redistributing it.
YouTube is an excellent tool to find CC licensed videos, but try other repositories we’ve listed as well. You may find another repository that serves your needs better.
Many content-aggregator websites, such as YouTube and Google Video have significant amounts of copyright-infringing material. Please double-check that the video is truly CC-licensed. When in doubt, contact the creator.
