More and more, we&#8217;re turning to YouTube to host these videos for us.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, I&#8217;m fine with that. We don&#8217;t have to worry about bandwidth and storage, we get decent analytics and get the added bonus of YouTube users stumbling across our videos.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, I&#8217;m seeing a trend lately that&#8217;s been bothering me &#8211; and it&#8217;s one that can potentially make our institutions look bad.<\/p>\n<p>People &#8211; when you&#8217;re embedding a video from YouTube, for the love of crackers turn off &#8220;Show related videos.&#8221; It&#8217;s a simple checkbox. It looks like this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.highedwebtech.com\/2011\/10\/Screen-shot-2011-10-20-at-9.43.04-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"347\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1822\" title=\"Screen shot 2011-10-20 at 9.43.04 PM\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/media.highedwebtech.com.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Screen-shot-2011-10-20-at-9.43.04-PM.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Checking that box can save you quite a bit of embarrassment. Case in point:<\/p>\n<p>Georgetown University is about to launch a <a href=\"http:\/\/campaign.georgetown.edu\/#page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">major capital campaign<\/a>. It&#8217;s an amazing video &#8211; it&#8217;s beautifully shot, beautifully edited and is just really compelling. Here it is:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/mwxpgOYXeoA?rel=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I guarantee you that video was not cheap to produce. I was watching it on their campaign site, where it was embedded, and was really engrossed in it. I was good until it ended and the YouTube player showed me related videos that it thought was relevant to the launch of Georgetown&#8217;s capital campaign. Front and center: one showing off the fact that rapper Wiz Khalifa spends $10,000 a month on weed.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m serious. Here&#8217;s what it looked like:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.highedwebtech.com\/2011\/10\/Screen-shot-2011-10-20-at-9.51.43-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"317\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1827\" title=\"Screen shot 2011-10-20 at 9.51.43 PM\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/media.highedwebtech.com.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Screen-shot-2011-10-20-at-9.51.43-PM.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I can pretty surely say that Georgetown doesn&#8217;t want to promote Wiz Khalifa&#8217;s drug habit. I&#8217;m sure it doesn&#8217;t fit in with their mission (the embalming process video that also shows up is a bit creepy too.) I&#8217;m sure they don&#8217;t want people to leave their campaign site and videos confused why they&#8217;re linking to drug videos.<\/p>\n<p>For something that&#8217;s critical to a university, such as a campaign video, I would probably host the video on my own, or use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longtailvideo.com\/players\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">JW Player<\/a> to grab it from YouTube directly.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t do that, and have to use a YouTube embed, you really should turn off the related videos. Don&#8217;t play <a href=\"http:\/\/da.partypoker.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">poker<\/a> with your career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> Looks like it was oversight and is on its way to being fixed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"2011\/10\/Screen-shot-2011-10-21-at-5.23.19-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"568\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1832\" title=\"Screen shot 2011-10-21 at 5.23.19 PM\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/media.highedwebtech.com.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Screen-shot-2011-10-21-at-5.23.19-PM.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When embedding from YouTube, make sure the &#8220;Show Related Videos&#8221; is always turned off.
