Video Blocker

If you need to block videos—including video sites, YouTube, movies, vlogs, live streams, shows, shorts and even video players installed on your computer—you’ve likely discovered that it’s not easy to find a truly universal solution. Most browser add-ons are limited, inconsistent, and must be installed separately on every browser.
Instead of relying on multiple ineffective tools, choose one comprehensive and reliable solution: HT Family Shield (for home) and HT Task Vector (for business). These apps provide full system-wide video blocking without the hassle.

How to Block Video Players

Video players are applications installed on a computer to open and play video files. Since they are not websites, blocking them works differently and requires app-level control.

Go to App Blocking.
Choose Block or Limit for the Video Players category.
If you choose Block, all video player apps will be fully disabled.
If you choose Limit, you can restrict their use based on daily limits or a schedule.
