Frequently Asked Questions
Every video your child wants to watch must be parent-approved first. When they find a video, they click "Request to Watch," you receive an instant notification on your phone via our PWA, and you can approve or deny with one tap. Once approved, that video is permanently whitelisted for that child.
Free tier includes core features (parent approval, shorts blocking, 1 child profile, 5 channels). Basic adds ad blocking and unlimited profiles. Premium includes AI Category Whitelistingβwhere you define broad categories and AI auto-approves matching videosβplus unlimited channels and domains. See the pricing comparison table above for full details.
On the Premium plan, you can define broad categories your child can explore (e.g., "Science," "Art," "Coding," "History"). Our AI analyzes video content and automatically whitelists videos that fit your approved categories. This saves you from reviewing every single video while maintaining control over content types. You can still review AI-approved videos retroactively and override any decisions.
No. WhitelistVideo uses enterprise-grade installation via MSI (Windows) or DMG (macOS) with policies that prevent children from uninstalling or disabling the extension. The extension requires a parent password for any configuration changes. For complete protection, we recommend combining WhitelistVideo with OS family safety apps (Microsoft Family Safety or Apple Screen Time) to prevent installing other browsers.
Short-form videos (under 60 seconds) are designed for endless scrolling and destroy attention spans. WhitelistVideo blocks shorts across all video platforms, ensuring your child watches full-length, educational content that builds focus and learning. This feature is available in ALL tiers (Free, Basic, Premium).
1) Your child browses and finds a video they want to watch. 2) They click "Request to Watch". 3) You receive an instant notification in the WhitelistVideo parent app (PWA). 4) You review the video title, channel, and description. 5) You approve or deny with one tap. 6) If approved, your child can watch immediately.
Not required, but highly recommended for complete protection. OS Family Safety Apps control WHEN Chrome can be used and prevent installing other browsers. WhitelistVideo controls WHAT video content can be watched. Together, they create tamper-proof, multi-layer protection.
For Free Tier: Always available, no subscription end. For Paid Tiers (Basic/Premium): If you don't renew, you have 3 options: 1) Renew subscription - Continue with paid features. 2) Downgrade to Free - Keep core features, lose Premium benefits (AI categories). 3) Manually uninstall - Parent uninstalls extension, child can watch freely again. Lifetime Subscribers ($199): Never expires. Lifetime access.
Yes! WhitelistVideo is specifically designed for ages 8-15. This age group needs video content for school and learning but isn't ready for completely unrestricted access. Our solution balances freedom and safety, allowing age-appropriate exploration within parent-defined boundaries.
Yes! Multiple parent accounts can be linked to the same child profile, so both mom and dad (or guardians) can approve video requests from their own devices.
Currently Available: Windows 10/11 and macOS 11+ (desktop/laptop) with Google Chrome browser (latest version). Coming Soon: ChromeOS, Mobile (iOS/Android), Tablets.
WhitelistVideo is perfect for school projects. Install the extension, create a child profile, and when your child needs to research a topic, they can browse freely and request relevant videos. You approve educational content with one tap, building their whitelist over time. With Premium, you can set up educational categories (Science, History, Math) and AI will auto-approve matching videos.
