Youtube Streaming
YouTube currently may freeze a user's ability to make videos for 24 hours when they have made several videos in succession. This seems to be due to an algorithm that Google/YouTube uses, of which we have no control over.
As a result, some students video-making ability has been frozen after 4-5 attempts and need to wait until the next day before they can record again. In light of this, we would suggest you offer these instructions to your students:
If you make several videos in quick succession, YouTube may freeze your ability to make more videos until after a 24-hour period. This has happened to students who have tried to record as few as 4-5 videos in a row (although the exact number may vary from user to user).
In order to minimize the need to re-do your video and potentially run into this issue, it is recommended that you:
* Write a script of your presentation
* Practice it beforehand
* Plan on making your recording well in advance of the due date
FNU IT is not able to bypass (i.e. unfreeze) this issue for you.
