Oliver Beynon, from Fochriw in Caerphilly, appeared at Cardiff Crown Court earlier, where he pleaded guilty to the charge of sending communication threatening death or serious harm
He will be sentenced on December 16.
At a previous hearing, prosecutors told the court that the video, which has been viewed 2,500 times on YouTube, contained "detailed details" of threats to kill students at Merthyr Tydfil College.
South Wales Police became aware of the video on August 31, and Beynon was immediately arrested.
In a statement released after the arrest, the college confirmed that "following a thorough review and assessment of the safety of staff, learners, and building users," the college reopened for the first day of the new term on September 1.
