Remove related videos from Youtube for school

I can't find a way to disable autoplay from Google Classroom posted videos. If you embed the video, you can restrict autoplaying to the same channel as the original video by adding rel=0 to the video embed. Testing:
https://swccd.instructure.com/courses/7697/pages/get-rid-of-the-suggested-videos-in-an-embedded-youtube-video
https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#release_notes_08_23_2018 states that rel=0 restricts the suggested videos to the same channel that posted the original video.

Mask Reviews 2020

Matt's Reviews of Masks for 2020

Who knew this was going to be a thing for 2020? I hope people end up continuing to wear masks when they are sick even after coronavirus is long gone. Hopefully this is helpful if you are looking for more masks for your collection. I don't have any financial interest in any of these companies.

Tshirt masks

Price: free if you have extra old tshirts to cut up
I liked this video which involved just cutting and no sewing: video. The masks can be very comfortable and flexible for size.

Gap masks

Price: $15 for 3
These are great for everyday wear. They are relatively light for summer time.

Underarmor SportsMask

Price: $30 for 1
Site
My favorite for running - it has good airflow and holds up to sweat well.

Uniqlo Airism Masks (Large for adults and Small for Kids)

Price: $15 for 3
Site
Very soft but some people complain they may be too hot for summer wearing. I only received them in Fall so I haven't tried them in heat much.

Los Angeles Apparel

Price: $30 for 3
I like the straps on these but they were relatively hot for summer time. Easy to hang around your neck when you aren't wearing it.

Joe Biden masks

Price: $20 for 1
Site
Pretty standard mask with a Biden Harris logo.

DANIEL PATRICK

Price: $25 for 1
Unusual fittings. I think we are keeping these in the car and I haven't worn them much.
