Trim YouTube Videos for Your Classroom

A 40-minute documentary rarely fits a 50-minute lesson. TubeChop lets you clip the four minutes that actually matter, so class time goes to discussion instead of scrubbing a timeline in front of thirty students.

Pick a start and end time, get a short link, and drop it in your lesson plan, slides, or LMS. Students see the segment you chose, played through the official YouTube player, with no software to install and no accounts for them to create.

How it works

  1. Paste the video link

    Copy the YouTube URL of the documentary, experiment, or lecture you want to use and paste it into TubeChop.

  2. Mark the teaching moment

    Set the start and end times around the exact segment your lesson plan calls for. Preview it to check the cut.

  3. Share one link with your class

    Put the clip link in your slides, worksheet, or LMS. Students who click it land directly on your segment.

Why it works

No more "skip to 12:40"

Students start exactly where the lesson starts, on any device, without instructions.

Works with any LMS

The clip is a normal link, so it works in Google Classroom, Canvas, Moodle, Schoology, or a plain email.

Nothing to install

TubeChop runs in the browser. No downloads, no extensions, no IT ticket.

Reuse clips every term

Create a free account to keep clips in a library, or go Premium to remove the 7-day expiration on clips you reuse each year.

Good questions.

Do my students need a TubeChop account?
No. Students just click the link and watch. Only the person creating clips might want an account, and even that is optional.
Is TubeChop safe to use with school content filters?
TubeChop plays videos through the official YouTube embedded player, so it behaves the same way YouTube does under your district's filtering. If YouTube is allowed, TubeChop clips play.
Can I keep clips from one school year to the next?
Free clips expire after 7 days. TubeChop Premium ($15/year) removes the expiration, which suits clips you build into recurring lesson plans.
Does trimming edit or download the video?
No. TubeChop never downloads or alters videos. It tells the official YouTube player where to start and stop, which keeps you inside YouTube's Terms of Service.

Skip the boring parts.
Share the good stuff.
