It’s lightweight and highly scalable and will not slow teachers or students down. All you need to do is enable the extension through your Google Admin console, and it’s ready. 

Block Embedded YouTube Videos with Content Filter by ManagedMethods

Customers love Content Filter and its ability to be configured to block YouTube and other social media sites. YouTube blocking can be managed granularly based on keywords or tags associated with a video and by specific channels and videos. You can also analyze keywords related to a video using the video link, which helps you build a better filter. 

Content Filter stands out because its YouTube-blocking configurations extend to embedded videos, such as Google Slides and Forms. Embedding videos into other applications allows students to bypass other filters. 

“Content Filter is so lightweight that we were able to run it at the same time as our existing solution without impacting our end users’ experience. We were set up in about 15 minutes and we started seeing results almost immediately. We were able to report on activity and see what students were attempting to access. It was also impressive that it had no impact on our end users when running both web filters at the same time. It’s a no-brainer for us.”

Director of Technology at Azusa Unified School District
