What is it?
Restricted mode is a safety mode that has been enabled for EUSD Google Accounts at all EUSD schools that helps screen out potentially inappropriate videos that we would not want students to see.
What are the differences?
As long as the students are logged into YouTube, they can view approved videos.
Below the video at the left-hand corner you'll see one of four labels:
"Watchable by eusd.org." no login required
"Video approved for eusd.org." Student login is required
"In a channel approved for eusd.org." Student login is required
"Video not approved for eusd.org." - You'll need to approve. And... student login is required.
