YouTube/Google has been sending out emails over the past few days about "changes to your school YouTube account". By default, Google has marked everyone's account (staff & student) as under 18 thus switching everyone over to their new limited version of YouTube designed for schools.
The Big Walnut Technology Department was made aware last week that this email would be going out soon, and in preparation has already reverted all accounts in our staff org units back to over 18. Therefore, there is nothing further you need to do on your end.
If you have any question, please feel free to reach out, and if you'd like to review YouTube's official email it's attached below.
Have a wonderful day!
We’re reaching out because you use YouTube at school with a Google Workspace for Education account. In this type of account, you use your school email address, and your school administrator manages your access to Google products like YouTube.
Starting in the coming weeks: Because your school admin has marked you as under 18 years old, you’ll see a new, limited version of YouTube designed for schools when you use your school account. This means you won’t be able to do things like comment, live chat, or receive most notifications. You also won’t be able to create YouTube videos and may not be able to watch certain videos.
This new experience is automatically given to students marked as under 18. But this only impacts your YouTube experience on your school account and does not impact the YouTube experience on your personal account.
If you have uploaded videos to your school YouTube account, your channel will be hidden. You can download and save your videos using Google Takeout (when turned on by your admin).
In the coming months we will also be launching a tool that will allow you to directly move videos from your school account channel to a personal account. We will reach out with more details when the tool opens.
For more info on your school YouTube account, please visit our Help Center.
