Manage YouTube Videos

You can manage YouTube Videos on a particular YouTube policy route, if required.

You can choose to allow or block all videos. Additionally, you can specify an allow list or a block list of videos depending on the allow/block setting.

For example, when specifying allow all videos, you can specify a block list of videos that cannot be accessed by users. Alternatively, when specifying block all videos, you can specify an allow list of videos that can be accessed by users.

  A different block page is automatically generated for each type of social media policy route added to the Gateway. For example, if you create a Facebook route, a Facebook block page is also created. You cannot delete these block pages if a related policy route exists on your Gateway.
