What Parents Are Saying

"I recommend WhitelistVideo to every family in my practice. Setup took 3 minutes, and within a week my daughter was discovering science content I never knew existed. As a child psychologist, this is exactly the kind of intentional media environment children need."
SL

Dr. Sophie Laurent

Pediatric Psychologist, San Francisco

"I work in tech, so I understand how algorithms work. Two months in, my son went from endless gaming compilations to learning Python and building circuits. The enterprise-grade bypass protection impressed even me."
DR

David Reeves

Software Engineer & Father of Two, Austin TX

"After using WhitelistVideo at home, I shared it with three families at school. Every parent has the same reaction: 'Why didn't this exist sooner?' Auto-pilot catches things in video descriptions I would never have noticed on my own."
JK

Jennifer Kowalski

Elementary School Principal, Chicago

"By the second week, my daughter stopped asking 'Can I watch this?' every five minutes. She knows the rules now. The enterprise policy enforcement is the same technology Fortune 500 companies use. For the price, that's remarkable."

Core Features

How WhitelistVideo Blocks Harmful Content on YouTube

Four powerful tools working together to give you complete control over your child's YouTube experience.

Whitelist Channels

Only Approved Channels Play

Add channels you trust to your whitelist. Your kids can only watch content from these approved sources—everything else is automatically blocked.

Keyword Blocking

Block by Keywords & Topics

Add keywords to automatically block videos containing certain words in titles, descriptions, or tags. Perfect for blocking specific topics or trends you don't want your kids exposed to.

Request System

Kids Request, Parents Approve

When your child finds a blocked channel they want to watch, they can send a request. You get a notification on WhatsApp, Telegram, or the app. Approve or deny with one tap, or message the AI bot: 'add Cocomelon for my daughter' — manage channels, playlists, safety settings, and more from a simple chat.

Auto-pilot

Auto-pilot Screens Every Video

Before your child watches anything, Auto-pilot checks it against your rules — title, description, and channel history. Content matching your rules plays instantly. Questionable content is blocked for your review.

— Common Questions —

Everything You Need to Know

Still have questions? Our support team is here to help.

QHow is this different from YouTube Kids?

YouTube Kids is designed for toddlers (ages 3-8) with limited, algorithm-selected content. WhitelistVideo is for school-age kids (8-15) who need real educational content—but with you deciding exactly which channels are appropriate, not YouTube's algorithm.

QCan my tech-savvy kid bypass this?

Without our desktop installer, yes—they could disable the extension or switch browsers. With the installer? No. We use the same enterprise-level browser policies that companies use to secure employee computers. Only your admin password can make changes.

QWhat about YouTube Shorts?

YouTube Shorts are blocked by default. While YouTube now offers Shorts time limits through Family Link (Jan 2026), WhitelistVideo goes further — Shorts are blocked entirely out of the box, and you also control which channels your child can access. Parents can toggle Shorts blocking on or off from the dashboard if needed.

QDoes it work on tablets and phones?

Yes! Our iOS Child App is available now for iPhone and iPad. Android Child App is available now on Google Play. For desktops and Chromebooks, use our browser extension. Parents can manage everything from the Android or iOS Parent App, or use the web dashboard.

QWhat if my child needs a new channel approved?

They simply click "Request" when they encounter a blocked channel. You get a notification on WhatsApp, Telegram, or the app and can approve or deny with one tap. You can also message the AI bot anytime to add channels, manage playlists, block keywords, or change any setting — all from a chat conversation. Approvals sync instantly—no waiting.

QShould I use YouTube Kids, a supervised account, or WhitelistVideo?

YouTube Kids works for under-8s; supervised accounts keep older kids on the main app but filter by broad tiers — an algorithm still picks what appears, and Shorts can't be turned off. WhitelistVideo is the only option where you approve the exact channels: everything else stays blocked, on the real YouTube app, at any age. It also works alongside a supervised account.
