When Youtube is blocked (eight ways around it)

Kickyoutube downloads video well. Get the yourube video you want and then add kick in front of youtube in the address bar. Choose a format (usually mp4), click on Go and then right click on download and choose Save Source.
savevid.com works very well, but it does show the most recently downloaded videos and some may be inappropriate for the classroom.

Download and use VLC, a cross-platform media player to view almost anything!! Mac, PC or Linux
