ViewPure: YouTube Videos Without the Clutter

June3

Looking for a way to watch YouTube videos with your students minus the distracting and sometimes inappropriate advertisements, comments, and other extraneous info that is included on the page? If so, ViewPure is the perfect tool for you!

ViewPure allows users to copy the URL of a video into the “purifier”. Once this link is inserted, the “Purify” button can be selected and bang! Your video is displayed on a clutter-free background.

Videos can also be “purified” through the use of the ViewPure bookmarklet. Simply install the applet to your favorites toolbar, then click the “purify” button while on the YouTube page of the video you wish to filter and voila!

Check out the example below showing how ViewPure works:

» An Ancient Egyptian video from YouTube before using ViewPure:

viewpure2

FYI: The actual URL for this video lives here.

» The same Ancient Egyptian video from YouTube after using ViewPure:

viewpure1

Click here to view the unique URL ViewPure generates for each video that is “purified”.

Classroom Connection:

Use ViewPure to eliminate unnecessary distractions from YouTube videos so students can better focus on the content at hand.
