YouTube is available as an additional service for all NC State students, faculty and staff.  It is not covered under the Core Google Workspace Terms, but the Google Additional Services Terms.

As an additional service, users should not expect any level of support from NC State for technical issues. Technical administrators do not have the level of access to YouTube like they do for Core services like Docs, Sheets, Gmail, etc.  Because of this, users are highly recommended to follow the following best practices to ensure no loss of data.

Using Brand Accounts for departmental/college video channels

• YouTube videos for a business unit or purpose should be set up as a Brand account.
• A Brand account is an account that is specifically for your brand (e.g., HelpDesk Services).
• The primary owner of the Brand account must be a Google generic account. This account is different from your personal/Unity Google account. If a channel is linked to a Brand account, multiple people can manage it from their Google accounts. You don’t need a separate username or password to manage YouTube channels with a Brand account.
• Should comply with university’s Social Media Policy. 

Privacy

• Create your own channel.
• Adjust the video settings for Private and only share with who you need to share.
• Set videos to Unlisted when Private is not possible.
• Disable comments.
• Public videos can be considered public information.
• Make sure your videos are digitally accessible.
