 * Risk Management Tips for Teachers Using YouTube**

Don't use content that is likely to be an infringing copy. Only use YouTube videos for the purpose of teaching. There should be no commercial benefit. Only use what you need. Check that you can't purchase or readily license the content that you need from another source. Don't expose the content to further copying or communication, such as giving students access to an electronic file that they could copy.

You may be able to stream YouTube videos to a class under section 28 of the Copyright Act. This streaming may be directly from the YouTube website, or through a link to a YouTube video embedded on another website. Section 28 allows teachers and students to play YouTube videos in class where it is: - in the course of education and not for profit; and - the people in the audience or class are giving or receiving instruction, or are directly connected with the place where instruction is given. See information sheet 'Performance and communication of works and audio visual material in class – What am I allowed to do?' for further information on when section 28 will apply.
