I suspect this came up because the instructor has had a YouTube video
disappear before.

The TEACH Act does allow for videos to be streamed within a password protected
like Blackboard area much as in a classroom, but I would recommend working
with the Library to get access to a more permanent copy (NOT from YouTube, but
from the author) and verify that the use is compliant with the TEACH Act.

FWIW - Our online course shops work with publishers to obtain permission
before digitizing and streaming video.

Hope this helps.
