How to Block YouTube on Your Computer and iPhone
Hey everyone in today's video, I wanted to show you how to block youtube.com on any computer, and in the second half, I'll show you how to do it on an iPhone as well. So the best way to do it on a computer without getting too technical is by using a block extension on the Chrome browser. So if people are using Chrome browser to explore the internet, you could have an extension to block websites.
So let me show you where to find that. So go to the link below here to go to the Chrome extension store here and there's an extension called blocks sites. Go ahead and search for that here and this is the one that you want to download. Block sites, website blocker for Chrome. I'm going to add this to Chrome here and then press add extension here and now it's telling me to add a website here to block. So I could simply go over here type in www.youtube.com and then I could press the plus sign here. And now the block sites, youtube.com on this computer on Chrome have been blocked. So if I go to youtube.com here, I will get this page instead of youtube.com saying that it's been blocked and at any time I could come back here and I could go ahead and press erase and the block size has been removed. So you could do this with any website on Chrome. Let me jump into the iPhone. I'll show you a setting inside the iPhone that doesn't require Chrome, but it will block any website on your iPhone.
So in order to block youtube.com on your iPhone, this is what we need to do. Go to the settings app here and they recently changed this on iOS 12 and 13. So make sure you check the description for the latest video here, but you want to press screen time and you want to turn on screen time. If it's not turned on, I'm going to go ahead and turn this on press continue. I say this on my iPhone and now screen time is going to be turned on. Now you're going to get some new options, content and privacy restriction is what we want to click. So go ahead and press that and we need to turn on content and privacy restriction on top. So toggle that on and then you should see content restrictions, press content restrictions and in the middle of the page, it says web content press that, and now we want to limit adult websites. youtube.com is not specifically an adult website, but this is how we're going to restrict the press that, and it's going to let you always allow or never allow websites. In this case, we want to never allow you to.com, press add-website type in youtube.com press done and now youtube.com will not be allowed on this device. So if I go to Safari here and try to go to youtube.com, I'm going to get this message because it's restricted. I could always come back here and go to the same page. I was just at delete youtube.com and now if I come back and I refresh this page here, youtube.com is going to pop up just like that.
What contents and privacy restrictions in the place that you need under screen time in order to block a website like youtube.com on your mobile device. I hope you found this quick video useful.
