YouTube is blocked at my school

How to get Roxxem videos working when your school network blocks YouTube.

Roxxem uses YouTube to play all music videos. If your school's network blocks YouTube, videos will not load on Roxxem.

Overview

This affects teachers and students on school Wi-Fi networks that restrict access to YouTube or Google services.

Cause

Roxxem embeds videos using the YouTube IFrame Player API. This requires your browser to reach several YouTube-owned domains. Many schools block these domains for content or bandwidth reasons.

Steps

  1. Contact your school's IT or technology department.
  1. Ask them to allow the following addresses on the school network:
  1. Once those domains are unblocked, reload Roxxem and try playing a video again.
  1. If unblocking YouTube is not possible, assign Roxxem videos for students to watch at home using their own internet connection.

Still not working?

Email hi@roxxem.com with your school name and a description of the error you see. We will do our best to help you find a workaround.
