Our district also blocked Youtube as well. We have access to learn360 (through infobase) which is great for video resources! What I've done for independent research is create a blocked website request discussion post (we use Schoology for our LMS) and then I've embedded the video in a page for them individually if they find something they may be able to use. Google Sites works the same, you could maybe create a "Blocked Videos" Google site for students to access and embed the videos into that if your LMS doesn't work the way you want!

Has anyone else’s district blocked YouTube for student access? Our district recently blocked YouTube for all student usage because of the change in minimum age requirement. I am receiving many requests from teachers about alternatives to YouTube that might have subject-specific content and resources. We already have EdPuzzle as a possible workaround, but that isn’t helpful for independent research/projects.
If your district uses any video library resources that are not YouTube, I would love to hear about it!
