Hijacked YouTube Channel

Paul Wilson
I’ve been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005, specializing in the creation of interactive and engaging learning experiences. In 2015, I launched my own eLearning design business and began producing Adobe Captivate video tutorials on my YouTube channel, CaptivateTeacher, to support clients and fellow developers. This content not only helped me grow my business globally—it also introduced me to a wider community of aspiring Captivate users who now turn to me for training and mentorship. Today, I provide both online and onsite Adobe Captivate training, empowering others to build effective eLearning with confidence. I’m proud to be part of the Adobe eLearning Community, sharing knowledge, collaborating with other developers, and contributing to the growth of this platform.

Summary

I just wanted to let everyone know that my YouTube account was hijacked.

I have regained access to my Google account. However, while the hijacker has control of my YouTube channel, they violated the terms with YouTube and got my channel taken down. I’m in the process of getting the account restored. In the meantime, any posts with embedded YouTube videos will look blank instead of displaying the video in question. Please be patient while I get this hopefully resolved.

Update – Thanks to the team at YouTube, I was able to get my YouTube channel restored.
