How to Filter YouTube Search to Educational Vids Only
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
No tool can reliably tell an educational video from a vlog, so the best results come from how you search. Add words like "lecture", "tutorial" or "course" to your search, and use YouTube's Filters button to choose the Video type and a longer duration. Searching inside a university's or teacher's channel also helps. Ultimate Adblocker's "Hide Shorts" switch removes Shorts from search results, which cuts out a lot of short clips.
