Tech Tip Tuesday: A New View using ViewPure


Are you hesitate to show your students YouTube videos because of the clutter that shows up around the video?  Well, you can "de-clutter" your video by using ViewPure.  ViewPure is a tool that works with YouTube that will remove any ads, comments, or other distractions from the video.  It will "purify" the video so that you can show it with your students without any distractions.  Note:  it does not remove audio content from the video.

Here's how you do it:

  • find a YouTube video that you want to share with your students
  • copy the URL address of it
  • go to ViewPure.com
  • paste the URL address into the bar
  • click on 'Purify'
  • your video will open and will be displayed without the clutter
