Every Teacher Knows This Feeling
You’ve found the perfect YouTube video for today’s lesson. You’ve previewed it. But the moment you play it for the class, an unexpected word slips through — and suddenly you’re the one who played it.
WDST can reduce that risk on supported videos by using the caption track to prepare timed mutes. Preview the filtered playback before class because captions and automatic detection can still miss content.
Classroom tip: prepare and preview the exact video before students arrive.
