blocking EdPuzzle website with embedded videos

[YLevine3]

Hi, I have videos on EdPuzzle that i am intergrating into Canvas coursework, but i want to block the actual edpuzzle page, (as there are many non-educational videos on that site). is that possible, like to block edpuzzle website throught google.admin or sonicwall but allow the embedded videos on canvas?

thanks

Without having experience with EdPuzzle, I imagine the videos are embedded via an iframe. That iframe would then be pulling from the url for EdPuzzle, so limiting access to that website would likely cause the embed to break.

Hi @YLevine3,

I agree with @james_whalley that it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to block edpuzzle.com while still allowing embeds to work.  Further, you wouldn't be able to block anything on student's home internet connections, so even if you could figure out a way to block access on the school/institution network, it wouldn't really be fully effective.
