Here are a couple of tips for using Youtube: (thanks to Chris Bateman for the suggestion!)
If you want to download a video because you are worried about the wifi connection while showing it (or losing it because the video disappears):
1. go to video in youtube
2. type "ss" just before the "y" of "youtube" in the url
3. hit return
4. takes you to a new page with a mp4 download link
If you want to share a Youtube video, you can click on the “share” link (or right-click on the video), where you then have a choice to copy the youtu.be link, get embed code to paste into a website like MOODLE, or email it directly to a list of recipients. Embedding is a bit complex, but allows you to include the video in your own page without all the youtube clutter. You can see an example in the staff resources MOODLE page: https://secure.smus.ca/staffmoodle/mod/page/view.php?id=604 (how to get to chapel on time!)
If you want to share a youtube link but only to a certain part in the video:
1. go to the youtube video
2. scrub forward to the spot you want to share from
3. pause video
4. right click "copy video url at current time"
5. embed or paste into email to share.
