SafeShare.tv Reviews

SafeShare provides an easy and safe way to share links to students without worrying about advertisements or clicking to other videos.

I'd love to be able to batch upload videos.

The software is easy to use and allows me to safely show YouTube videos.

The big con I have is with their support. The only way to contact them is through their support ticket feature under Support and they are extremely slow to respond. We purchased the Premium to not be restricted on the number of saves. I attempted to add some staff to my team, but kept getting the message that they were on another team. They logged in and showed to be on the free version and there was no where they could remove themselves from a team. Support closed my original ticket as resolved when the issue was not resolved.

I like the idea of sharing without any kind of recommendations, which is very awkward when not showing the relevant content.
I don't have any problem with the advertisement which also helps me and some creators to provide great content. But as a teacher, some time ads are distractive to my slideshow and some time it is appropriate.
Start and end time set for a video is not a great feature for me but it's useful in some use cases.

It has ads blocker and does not show ads. So no monetization is possible. Creating a playlist is not very straight forward. A drag and drop feature will be great.

I like using a variety of relevant media to reinforce the concepts that I teach in my Project Lead The Way classes without the worry of pop-up ads that may be inappropriate for my students.

It is bothersome to go through my school system's technology department to ensure the link is truly appropriate for my students.

That I can eliminate commercials before videos so that it is not distracting to my students and their learning.

I least like the price to get access to all of the features. I wish that the free version had more features attached to it.

Firstly, as the name suggests, safeshare is actually a safe way to share any videos from YouTube. Secondly, it gives a convenient way to download whichever video you want from YouTube. Even it gives option to choose the format of video and you can even download the audio(MP3) version of any video.

I think it has a lack of popularity. As because most of my friends were unaware about this and even some of my international friends were also not aware of safeshare before I told them.

Love that it gets rid of distracting and potentially unsafe ads.

Needs to be more videos allowed on your dashboard

I love this software this way me and friends and family can share screens and watch the same shows and movies together.I have not seen better software out yet than this one.

There is nothing I have found yet in this software to complain about so I'm happy with it for now.

Removal of ads during viewing in the educational setting.

I am uncertain of a few things that I would like to be aware of and have questions about.
1. Are my QR codes still viewable by others if I stop my subscription?
2. Many Youtube video creators make money from their ads. Teachers have a high ethical and moral line they don't like to cross. When using Safeshare, how does that affect the video creators when we remove the ads through Safeshare? Are we cheating them out of what is rightfully theirs?
3. Do end users have to have an account to view the QR codes or does the QR creator only have to have the account to create the QR code? Hope that makes sense. Then back to question 1. What happens if at some point my subscription stops? Do my QR codes stop working?

I would organize my daily links for classroom viewing. For each class, I would play, pause, discuss in the same fluid way with no fumbling for links to pull up and work, and the assurance that there would be no commercial interruptions. Plus the freedom to use a portion of the video and not the whole thing was marvelous!

If I wanted the same link to play at the beginning of the lesson and at the end of the lesson, I would have to create two safeshares instead of being able to use it twice. That was the biggest problem when I was editing the safeshare down to a certain clip.

Safe Share is a must for every classroom. Particularly, younger classrooms. As a teacher, I want to be able to play engaging *short* clips and videos to get my class engaged and excited about the content. I do not, however, want to have to worry about the ads that may pop up when I press play.

Safeshare makes it possible to not have to worry! No ads, and safe viewing! A win!

Unfortunately, there is a cap as to how many 'safe videos' you can have saved to your account. However, I didn't use this feature often enough for it to be a big issue.

It allows me to upload videos safely from YouTube without all the ads or additional recommended videos that come with a direct link to YouTube. I can time it specifically for a set of minutes and it helps children stay safe and focused on one video.

I wish there wasn’t a limit to the amount of videos I can upload for free. I work at a technology driven district and videos are a daily part of my instruction. Removing the limit would allow me to save and refer to videos from unit of curriculum to another.

I enjoyed creating codes when there wasn’t a membership. I wasted my money paying for my codes when they ALL stopped working. I really liked cancelling this service that didn’t work.

I had to update over 500 codes when SafeShare changed their site. Even when I did ALL the updates the codes were still not working & I continued to have multiple problems scanning them. I finally had to get rid of all of them. When it was free to create codes it was easy and user friendly. I wish I never created QR codes on this site. I Would never recommend SafeShare to anyone in education. I wasted money on SafeShare. :( DO NOT buy any membership here!

Safeshare.tv makes it easier for me and the other teacher in the classroom. Using YouTube for my classroom came with a lot of difficulties because inappropriate ads would pop up and caused disruption in the classroom and now I don’t have to worry about that.

What I liked least was having to renter password after maybe 15 minutes of being logged in because we were letting a video play. It maybe something with my computer on my end.

I love being able to share videos from YouTube safely with my students. Even when I verify a video is safe, students at times unintentionally (or not) navigate away from the original video and could be exposed to unapproved content. SafeShare helps prevent this. I also love how I can edit the start/end times, as I often don’t need the entire video.

Unfortunately, SafeShare does tend to act a little wonky on older iPad gens as well as our Promethean ActivPanel (android iOS), but it’s not enough to rate SafeShare any less than 5 stars.

I used SafeShare to pre-load many videos that were used in my classroom. This helped me to filter out anything that would cause my students to lose focus or be exposed to things that they should not be. I loved being able to have it ready which allowed me to make sure my technology would run more smoothly.

I would say, the only con would be the amount of uploads you could have at once. Unfortunately, this impacted my classroom when i had to spend extra time deleting old SafeShares in order to post new ones.
