There are many other effects you can add such as a glowing border around the video. However, I like to keep it simple and pleasing to the K-5 eye :)

And for videos - Turn off the Lights! Use this extension to darken everything except the video, which is helpful with often distracting YouTube video suggestions

Ann Feldmann - Teacher review
Turn OFF the Lights is a fantastic little extension that will take YouTube videos and darken the entire screen around the video and leave your video lit up! The focus will solely be on your video you want to show the kids in your classroom! No distractions!

Candice Karas - Teacher review
Basically, this extension helps you hide ads and other video suggestions by fading the background so students can really focus on the video. {Oh, yeah: it's free, too!}
